As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves traded 2.00-5.00 higher with 500-650 lb stocker calves 10.00-15.00 higher. Heifer calves traded 3.00-6.00 higher with some 6 weights 10.00 higher. Yearlings steers were 2.00-5.00 higher with yearling heifers not well tested. Demand was moderate early and improved throughout the day as better quality and

larger drafts were presented. The supply was moderate and included several large drafts of stocker calves. Grass is greening up but we need some warmer nights to get it to grow faster than the cattle can eat. Friday's USDA Cattle on Feed Report came out more bearish than expected with Inventories up 1 percent, Placements up 2 percent and Marketings slightly higher than a year ago.
