As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 600 lbs gained back all the losses from last week and then some selling sharply higher, while the yearling steers have been lightly tested over the last few weeks, but several loads and packages were offered and sold with a higher undertone. Heifer calves sold 5.00-20.00 higher and yearling heifers sold steady to 4.00 higher. Demand was good to very good for a moderate to heavy supply. The tariff fears have eased and the markets have rebounded, apparently injecting plenty of confidence back into the cattle market with cash calf and feeder prices back to all time highs. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher, bulls 2.00-5.00 higher.
