Market report for Wednesday, October 29, 2025
Data sourced from USDA AMS
View USDA PDF VersionCompared to last Wednesday the feeder market was lower with an average quality offering. Good quality feeder steers and heifers were mostly 5.00 to 10.00 lower or greater in spots with a good supply and moderate demand, however the 500-550 lbs steers were steady with good supply. Recent declines in the futures market has limited buyers interest and the premiums they are willing to pay, while increasing the discounts on off colored and plainer quality cattle severely. Slaughter cows were 3.00 to 5.00 lower and slaughter bulls were steady with a good supply and moderate demand.
