Market report for Monday, December 8, 2025
Data sourced from USDA AMS
View USDA PDF VersionCompared to last week: Steer calves 10.00 to 20.00 higher, heifer calves 15.00 to 30.00 higher. Yearling feeder steers steady to 3.00 lower, yearling heifers unevenly steady. Very good demand for steer and heifer calves, good to very good demand for yearlings. As the CME cattle futures contracts made gains and cash fed cattle up to 230.00, cattle feeders were ready to step back in and compete heavily to get cattle bought. Most auction markets won't host a feeder cattle sale on the weeks of Christmas and New Years, leaving only 1 more full week to buy feeder cattle before the end of the year. Winter weather conditions at the start and end of the week made it difficult for cattle producers to get stock hauled to town, better weather in the forecast for this week.
