As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves traded unevenly steady from 2.00 lower to 2.00 higher. Heifer calves traded steady to 3.00 higher with spots 6.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. A better test of yearlings was seen this week with several larger packages of high quality animals in the offering. Concerns continue to grow as the backlog of slaughter ready cattle increases due to reduced processing capabilities.
