Compared to last week:  Feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher, instances to 10.00 
higher.  Feeder heifers unevenly steady.  Very good demand again this week for 
all weights of steers and heifers.  With reports of fat cattle up to 246.00 in 
the north, and up to 249.00 in the south, there was more fuel added to fire 
under the feeder cattle market.  Flesh condition mostly moderate to moderate 
plus, as the weather has been in the 50s and 60s cattle have been able to 
easily gain weight and put on a little extra condition.  Many long strings of 
these good home raised steers and heifers, along with long strings of full 
loads, and multiple load lots of backgrounded steers and heifers.  Quality was 
attractive throughout the sale and the market was very active.

Livestock, Poultry Prices Expected to Rise in 2026 Due to Demand, Tight Cattle Supplies
