Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves were 4.00-8.00 higher with spots 10.00 higher. Yearlings were not well tested, however undertones were steady to firm . Demand was good on a light supply. Receipts were higher than expected as lower humidity levels made moving cattle much more comfortable for both man and beast. One stick-out sale was a draft of 528 lb. heifer calves that brought 277.50.
