*CLOSE*

Compared to last week, steer calves traded 3.00-6.00 higher while heifer calves traded steady to 3.00 higher. Yearling steers traded 2.00-3.00 higher with yearling heifers not well tested. Demand was good and improved throughout the day on a heavy supply. More seasonal temperatures and sunshine helped to increase receipts and catch up from the light receipts in February. Several occasional buyers were ringside which like geese flying north, is a good indication that spring is around the corner.
