Compared to a more accurate test of the market from two weeks ago, a light test of steer calves under 550 lbs sold mostly steady but mid-weight steers from 550-700 lbs sold 10.00-20.00 higher and those over 700 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher. Heifer calves 5.00-10.00 higher, and yearling's steady with last week's higher market. Demand was good for a moderate supply. Several positives this week have pushed calves and feeder cattle higher, including the recent bullish inventory report showing the herd size is 2% below a year ago and the board responding by big gains on Thursday. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 lower than last week's higher trade.
