Compared to last week, steer calves under 650 lbs traded 10.00-15.00 higher while heifer calves under 700 lbs traded 7.00-12.00 higher. There were too few heavier weights last week for comparison however undertones were sharply higher. Demand was good on a light supply which included a 159 hd package of 799 lb steers bringing 135.75. Steers averaged 673 lbs at $135.51/cwt while heifers averaged 576 lbs at $122.82/cwt. The USDA's Cattle on Feed Report released last week reported Inventories were slightly higher, Placements 8 percent lower and Marketings 5 percent higher than a year ago.
