# Wagyu feeder prices under heavy pressure from record high grain prices - Beef Central

> Wagyu F1 feeder cattle prices in Australia have fallen under pressure over the past year, with good-quality F1 steers around 320-350c/kg liveweight. The premium over Angus feeders has narrowed to about 10-20c/kg from prior highs above 500-600c. Cattle with unknown performance or less desirable breeding are struggling to find buyers.
