As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves traded 4.00-7.00 higher with heifer calves trading steady to 5.00 higher. Yearling steers, compared to last week's light test, traded 5.00-7.00 higher with heifer yearlings lightly tested. Demand was very good on a moderate supply. Spring rains, warmer temperatures and sunshine have gotten pastures off to a good start and has increased the demand for all classes of calves. Demand was especially good for 3 and 4 weight calves with many breaking the 2.00 mark.
