Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded steady to 3.00 higher while yearling steers and heifers traded 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Pasture conditions across the area vary from abnormally dry to good. Many are concerned about the lack of grass and water levels in creeks and ponds and are starting to sell calves earlier than normal.
