Compared to the light run two weeks ago, steer and heifer calves under 650 lbs. sold 10.00-15.00 higher with spots 20.00 higher. Feeder Calves over 650 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 higher. Demand was very good on a moderate supply. Quality was above average with several groups of long-time weaned and vaccinated calves in the offering. Receipts were lighter than expected with many gravel roads still iced over from yesterday's ice storm. The USDA's Cattle on Feed Report released Monday was mostly neutral with Inventories at 102 percent, Placements at 96 percent, and Marketings at 99 percent.
