Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded 2.00-7.00 higher with spots 12.00 higher. Yearlings were not well tested, however undertones were steady. Demand was very good on a light supply. Following a week of snow, sleet and ice across the area, receipts were limited with many country roads difficult to travel due to the ice pack and melting snow. Cash markets responded favorably to increases on the cattle boards and decreases on the grain futures.
