Compared to last week, steer calves traded 4.00-8.00 higher while heifer calves traded 2.00-6.00 higher. Lightly tested yearlings traded steady to 4.00 higher. Demand was good on a heavy supply. The market was active with the quality of the offering much better than the past several weeks. With feedlots becoming more current, fat cattle prices hit 130.00 which was the highest level since February 2018, resulting in a more positive cash feeder market.
