Compared to last week, steer calves under 600 lbs. traded 3.00-6.00 higher while heavier weights traded steady to 3.00 higher. Heifer calves traded steady to 4.00 higher. Demand was very good on a moderate to heavy supply. With several weeks of sub-freezing mornings past us, there has been an increased demand for light weight calves with 3 and 4 weight steers in the 2.00+ range and 2.00 knocking on the 5 weight's door. Yearlings are in high demand with those that can be found bringing per cwt. prices similar to 6 weight calves.
