Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded uneven from 3.00 lower to 3.00 higher. Yearling steers traded 2.00-4.00 higher while yearling heifers were not well tested. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Demand improved throughout the day especially on thin to moderately fleshed calves. The market was active as fat cattle cash prices surpassed $120 for the first time in over a year and boxed beef cutout values continued to make big gains.
