Compared to the last well tested market of three weeks ago, steer calves traded 6.00-9.00 higher with spots 15.00 higher. Heifer calves traded 4.00-8.00 higher. Yearling steers traded steady while yearling heifers were not well tested. Demand was very good on a heavy supply. Ozarks Regional Stockyard started off the New Year with a Tuesday regular sale combined with a special weaned and pre-vaccinated feeder sale. Quality was above average with several large packages of long-time weaned calves from reputation herds.
