Compared to last week, steer calves traded 2.00-4.00 higher while heifer calves traded uneven from 2.00 lower to 2.00 higher. Yearling steers and heifers traded 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand was good on a heavy supply, including several drafts of yearlings. Higher cattle futures and sharply lower corn futures helped to generate more interest in yearling calves. The USDA's Cattle on Feed report released Friday reported Inventories 5 percent higher with Placements 27 percent higher and Marketings 33 percent higher, when compared to last years pandemic influenced numbers.
