Market report for Monday, December 15, 2025
Data sourced from USDA AMS
View USDA PDF VersionCompared to last Monday the feeder market was mostly steady with a good quality offering. Good quality feeder steers and heifers 600 lbs and under were mostly steady with a limited supply and good demand for weaned and value added packages and groups. Yearlings appeared steady as well but with limited comparisons. Buyers were active and willing to pay premiums for quality, while discounting plainer and off colored calves severely. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher with a good supply and no trends on slaughter bulls due to a light test.
