Compared to a week ago, steer calves traded 3.00-6.00 higher with yearling steers 4.00-8.00 higher. Heifer calves traded steady to 4.00 higher with yearlings not well tested. Demand was good on a moderate supply. The market was very active as positive gains were made on live cattle and feeder cattle contracts. Continued increases in prices for slaughter cattle and box beef cutouts have had a positive effect on feeder cash prices.
