Market information provided by USDA
16 DEC '25
Compared to last Tuesday the feeder market was stronger in spots with a good quality offering of mostly yearling cattle. Feeder steers 600 lbs and under were mostly steady with a limited supply, except for the 400-500 lbs steers who were sharply higher with strong demand for that weight range. Yearling steers were 3.00 to 6.00 higher with a good supply and strong demand for value added groups and packages. Feeder heifers 600 lbs and under were unevenly steady with a limited supply and good demand for long weaned and guaranteed open heifers. Yearling heifers were sharply higher with a large supply and strong demand for quality groups and value added loads. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady to 2.00 higher with a good supply and good demand.
