Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves were steady to 5.00 higher. There were too few yearlings for an adequate comparison, however undertones were steady to firm. Demand was good on a moderate supply. The supply consisted of mostly small drafts with an abundance of bull calves in the offering. The USDA's Cattle on Feed Report, released last Friday, reported Inventories were down 4 percent and both Placements and Marketings were down 1 percent from a month ago. Placements were a lot higher than expected as feedlots were about the only option, due to the Winter weather in the Northern Plains and drought conditions in the Southern Plains.
