Cattle prices have dropped due to a combination of factors, including increased supply as ranchers have expanded herds following previous high prices, and reduced demand from consumers facing inflation and higher meat prices. Additionally, economic uncertainties and changing consumer preferences have contributed to lower beef consumption. Weather conditions affecting feed availability and production costs may also play a role in the price fluctuations.

That all depends on where you are selling or buying them. Location plays a huge role in cattle prices.
When stock prices drop significantly, it is often referred to as a "market correction" if the decline is 10% or more from recent highs. A more severe and prolonged drop is termed a "bear market," typically defined as a decline of 20% or more. Additionally, a sudden and sharp drop in stock prices can be called a "crash."

In the 1850s, the price of cattle in Texas varied significantly depending on the region and market conditions, but on average, prices ranged from $5 to $10 per head. Factors such as supply and demand, the quality of the cattle, and the proximity to railroads or markets influenced these prices. Additionally, the expansion of cattle drives and the growing demand for beef in the Eastern United States contributed to fluctuations in cattle prices during this period.
