Compared to last week, steer calves traded mostly steady while some better tested six-weights traded 6.00 higher. Best tested eight-weight feeder steers traded 4.00 higher. Heifer calves traded steady to 2.00 higher. Demand was good on a light supply. The offering was mostly below average quailty calves with discounts on those that were unweaned or carrying fescue hair. Most of the area has been down graded from D3 (extreme drought) to D2 (severe drought) following spotty rains this past week. Cattle futures traded lower and grain futures traded higher.
