Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves under 700 lbs. traded 2.00-4.00 lower while heavier weight calves traded steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was moderate on a moderate supply. Unweaned and short-weaned calves continue to be heavily discounted with buyers concerned about death losses and health care costs. The USDA's Cattle on Feed Report released last week had Inventories 1 percent lower, Placements 2 percent higher and Marketings slightly below last year.
