Compared to last week, steers and heifer calves and yearling steers traded steady to 4.00 higher. Demand was very good on a heavy supply. Drier conditions this week resulted in larger than expected receipts. Demand was very good throughout the day and into the early morning hours on Wednesday with buyers remaining ringside to fill their orders.
