Compared to last week, steer calves traded 3.00-5.00 lower while heifer calves traded uneven from 2.00 lower to 2.00 higher. Yearling steers traded steady to 3.00 higher with yearling heifers not well tested. Demand was good on heifers calves and yearling steers and moderate on steer calves. The supply was light as heat advisories returned to the area.
