Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded steady to 3.00 higher, with spots 6.00 higher. Most of the gain was on heavier weight, weaned and vaccinated calves. Too few yearlings last week for an adequate comparison however undertones were sharply higher on yearling steer. Demand was moderate on calves and very good on yearlings. The supply was moderate to heavy with several pot-load drafts in the offering, including one draft of 275 head of nine weight steers.
