Compared to last week, 400-500 lb steer calves traded mostly 4.00-7.00 higher, with 500-600 lbs firm to 3.00 higher, 600-650 lbs sold steady with 650-700 lbs trading 3.00-4.00 higher and 700-800 lbs selling 6.00-8.00 higher, over 800 lbs sold with a sharply higher undertone. Feeder heifers weighing under 550 lbs sold with a sharply higher undertone compared to last week's light offering, 550-600 lbs and 650-700 lbs sold firm to 5.00 higher, over 700 lbs were not tested. Demand was good on a moderate to heavy offering, A nice offering of light weight calves weighing 300-500 lbs and a good quality offering of 500-750 lb steers and three pot loads of yearling steers weighing 865-895 lbs all sold on and active market. Buyers seem to be itching for calves to go to grass as spring has arrived along with the upper weight feeders as CME cattle futures had solid gains on Monday with Feeder Cattle contracts closing with triple-digit gains and higher fed cattle trade last week has market in a positive state.
