As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves traded steady to 4.00 lower with spots 8.00 lower. Heifer calves traded steady to 3.00 higher with spots 7.00 higher. Yearlings were not well tested. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Pee Wee calves are starting to become more popular as pastures continue to green up across the area. Following last week's sharply higher prices for stocker calves, demand shifted towards heifer calves.
