Compared to last week, steer calves traded 3.00-6.00 lower while heifer calves traded 4.00-8.00 lower. Yearlings were not well tested. Demand was moderate, and improved throughout the day, on a moderate supply. Mostly new crop calves in the offering which were presented in smaller packages. The cattle boards slowed their downward slide with some modest gains however Dogwood Winter had corn futures up double digits.
