Compared to last week, five and six weight steer and heifer calves were 3.00-6.00 higher with other weights not well tested. Demand was good on a light supply. The offering was mostly new-crop calves with several bawlers and few calves over 700 lbs. The largest draft of the day was 44 head of 636 lb. steers that brought 311/cwt. Cattle Contracts traded higher and Corn Futures traded lower.
