Compared to last week, steer calves traded unevenly steady while heifer calves traded steady to 3.00 higher. Yearling steers traded steady to firm with yearling heifers not well tested. Demand was good on a moderate supply. The market was active with quality average at best as producers cleaned up some odds and ends calves before the end of the year.
