Compared to last week, steer calves under 550 lbs. traded steady to 2.00 lower while heavier weights were 5.00-7.00 lower. Heifer calves traded 3.00-7.00 lower. Demand was moderate on weaned calves and light on bawling calves. The supply was light with most weights not well tested. Calves weaned 45 days or more with 2 or more rounds of shots traded steady to weak but the large volume of unweaned or short-weaned calves kept the average prices sharply lower. The good news around the barn were the reports of rain across most of the area ranging from one half inch to five inches. Rain came a little too late to help most pastures but did put some water in the ponds and creeks.
