Market report for Thursday, February 12, 2026

View USDA PDF VersionCompared to last week: Prices seemed to have their ups and downs, largely due to the quality of cattle available. There were few comparable sales on both calves and feeders to determine a trend but, sentiment remained positive. Trade was active on good demand. Slaughter cattle were mostly lower on a limited offering of better quality cows. However, higher yielding beef type cattle brought almost 5.00 higher. Cattle continue to come off of short wheat and that trend may continue as rain chances diminish into the weekend.
