Compared to last week, steer calves under 550 lbs. traded steady to 4.00 lower with heavier weights including yearlings trading 3.00-5.00 higher. Heifer calves under 550 lbs. traded steady to 4.00 higher with heavier weights mostly steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Last week's USDA Cattle on Feed report reported Inventories were up 4 percent, Placements up 9 percent, and Marketing down 3 percent compared to a month ago. A cool front brought in much needed moisture, for parts of the area, as well as dropping morning temperatures into the 40's.
