Compared to last week, steer calves traded steady to 3.00 higher while heifer calves traded steady to 3.00 lower. Demand was good on a moderate supply. CME Live Cattle Futures had very little movement today with Feeder Cattle Futures seeing some positive gain due to the sell-off in Corn Futures. The USDA Cattle-on-Feed report coming out Friday has estimates of Inventories steady, Placements up 2 percent and Marketings down 4 percent.
