This report will not be published for the next two weeks due to the Christmas and New Years holidays. Market coverage will resume January 08, 2026

Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold unevenly steady on calves and yearlings. Slaughter cows sold 4.00 to 8.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold too light to trend. Trade was active with good demand and a light to moderate supply.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $483.07, low $384.43, median $425.67 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
