As filed

Compared to last week; steer calves traded 5.00 to 8.00 lower on a lighter test to last week. Heifer calves traded fully steady to last week also on a lighter test. A nice offering with still a very active market considering the CME futures the last few days. Lots of moisture in the area with green grass starting to poke through. Sale again next Wednesday.
