Compared to last week, steer calves traded steady to 3.00 higher with spots 7.00 higher. Heifer calves traded 3.00-6.00 higher. Demand was very good on a heavy supply. Several multi-pot load drafts of 5 and 6 weight calves from reputation herds were in the offering. This week was the largest volume for a Tuesday sale since June 2018, as many held off as long as they could to sell their calves. March and April receipts were 52 percent less than a year ago while May's receipts, including today, are up 38 percent.
