Compared to last week, steer calves traded steady to 6.00 higher while heifer calves traded mostly steady. Yearlings were not well tested. Demand was good on a heavy supply. Warmer afternoon temperatures and sunshine brought more to the sale barn than expected, considering Friday's special Pre-Vac sale.
