Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers mostly steady. Light to
moderate demand for this large offering of high quality grading steers and
heifer, as not all packer buyers participated. CME Live Cattle contracts at
230.00, but with packer margins deteriorating the market was not very active.
Boxed beef values continue their decline again today, down to 356.00 for Choice
boxes. Cattle were carrying some tag as snows have been frequent, along with
rain last week and above freezing temps have made it difficult to keep cattle
dry. There was a large offering as the next slaughter cattle auction will be
Tuesday Dec. 30, 2025.
Slaughter lambs under 100 lbs 10.00 to 20.00 higher, over 100 lbs steady to
5.00 lower. Feeder lambs firm. Slaughter ewes steady. A very large offering
of sheep and goats this week, the market was very active on those
non-traditional weight slaughter lambs as there was very good demand for those
kinds. Good demand yet for the traditional weight lambs, but there was a
little pressure on the market. Very good demand remains for slaughter ewes.
Good demand for the bred ewes. Very good demand for all weights and classes of
goats.
