Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last sale: Not enough current FOB trades to establish a trend but a lower undertone was noted. Demand has softened across all classes of cattle. Feeder demand has weaken on Choice boxed beef values declining 50.00 since September 1st. Northern fat cattle trade has slipped to a discount compared to the southern regions, with prices falling from 245.00 five weeks ago to 228.00-230.00 this week. Dressed sales have also moved lower, down from 380.00 to 360.00. Calf demand has decline under heavy supply of unweaned calves, while the cool October mornings serve as a reminder that tough times are just around the corner for starting calves. Farmers remain focused on wheat planting and weather conditions, keeping their attention on the fields rather than on buying calves currently. Supply included 72 percent South Central; 1 percent West; 8 percent North Central; 13 percent South East; and 5 percent North East. Deliveries are current through May 2026. Current delivery is 14 days from the last day of the sale and is up to and including October 16th, 2025.

Weights are USDA’s estimates — these cattle had not been weighed when they sold. Delivery months differ between lots; a price for one month is not a price for another. Head is summed from the lots as reported.
