Reporter comment USDA
As filedCompared to the last sale April 30th: In a light test of Current FOB sales, feeder steers sold 7.00-9.00 lower. Feeder heifers steady to 6.00 lower. Demand and seller interest moderate. Cattle futures remain extremely volatile and at times almost exhausting. In the mean time slaughter cattle prices are going thru the roof. Because of this, we continue to see good movement in the cash trade of slaughter cattle. Steer and heifer calves not well tested for Current delivery. Many calves offered were for summer delivery. Supply included 52 percent South Central; 41 percent Southeast; 3 percent from the West; 3 percent North Central; and <1 percent from the North East region. Deliveries are current through December 2026. Current delivery is 14 days from the last day of the video and is up to and including May 28, 2026.
