# Klassen: Feeder cattle prices digesting uncertainty | Farmtario

> Feeder cattle markets were very quiet in late December, with auction barns in holiday mode and no confirmed direct sales. Feed grain prices kept rising, and the analyst expects a defensive tone to continue through January. Vaccine rollouts and possible U.S. stimulus payments are seen as factors that could support beef demand.

## Why it matters

Higher feed grain costs make current feeder prices hard to justify for summer marketing, which limits upside. Expected improvement in beef demand could support prices if it materializes.
