Compared to last week, steer calves under 600 lbs. traded steady to 4.00 higher while heavier weight steers traded mostly steady. Lightly tested yearling steers traded 2.00-3.00 higher. Heifer calves under 600 lbs. traded steady to 2.00 lower while heavier weight heifers traded 3.00-5.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply which included several large drafts of 6 weight heifers. Rapidly improving pasture conditions and back month future prices have increased demand for stocker calves.
