Compared to last week, steer calves and yearlings traded 2.00-4.00 higher. Heifers calves under 750 lbs. traded 5.00-7.00 higher with heavier weights not well tested. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Heat and humidity continue to be an issue but has allowed popup thunderstorms to bring welcomed showers for parts of the area.
