This report will not be published for the next two weeks due to the Christmas and New Years holidays. Market coverage will resume January 06, 2026

Compared to last week, feeder steers sold sharply higher on calves and yearlings, with heifers selling unevenly steady. Slaughter cows sold 3.00 to 5.00 higher on lean and boning cattle, with breaker cattle selling 3.00 lower. While slaughter bulls sold too light to trend, a higher undertone was noticed. Trade was active with good demand and a moderate supply.
