Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves and yearlings steady. Demand moderate to good, supply moderate. Several un-weaned calves in the offering along with weaned calves and yearlings. Live Cattle and Feeder Cattle futures closed in the green with good gains and the DJIA was trading sharply higher.
