Market report for Monday, October 27, 2025
Data sourced from USDA AMS
View USDA PDF VersionCompared to last week: Steer and heifer calves 15.00 to 30.00 lower. Good demand for steer and heifer calves, yet there continues to be a lot of pressure on the market coming from the volatility in the futures complex. It seemed the futures contracts had found some stable ground at midweek, but triple digit losses returned by Friday. There is plenty of interest in buying these good light calves, while they are available, yet cattle feeders are very uncertain as to what a realistic breakeven price could be.
