Compared to last week, steer calves traded 5.00-10.00 lower while heifer calves traded 3.00-6.00 lower. Too few yearlings to adequately test the market however undertones were steady to weak. Demand was moderate on a light to moderate supply. With May corn contracts at or near 7.00 most of the day, the increasing cost of feed was a major topic around the sale barn. The USDA's Cattle on Feed report released last week had Inventories up 5 percent, Placements up 28 percent and Marketings up 1 percent when compared to a year ago.
