Data sourced from USDA AMS
View USDA PDF VersionCompared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher with spots 10.00-15.00 higher on the fancy 550-625 lb steers. Demand was good to very good for a moderate to heavy supply. The forecasted cold and potential for a winter storm this weekend didn't slow things down at all as buyers are trying to gather cattle while they are in front of them. With the market at historically high levels and the tremendous weather thus far this New Year, the runs of cattle are likely to slow down in the coming weeks.
