Market report for Thursday, December 18, 2025
Data sourced from USDA AMS
View USDA PDF VersionCompared to feeder sale two weeks ago, steers were mixed with 500-600 lbs. 11.00-15.00 lower and 600-700 lbs. bringing 6.00-7.00 higher. Heifers were too lightly tested with a lower undertone noticed throughout the sale. Demand was good on cattle with multiple rounds of Spring and Fall shots. Quality was attractive and uniform throughout a majority of the sale giving the buyers plenty of solid options for disposition and condition. Extreme wind gusts reported in the area but did not hamper the active bidding of the larger loads on offer.
