Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded 2.00-4.00 higher with spots 8.00 higher with most weights not well tested. Demand was good on a light supply which was affected by the upcoming holiday. The offering was mostly small drafts of average to below average quality calves with the exception of one draft of 262 head of 770 lb. steers which traded for 169.00/cwt. The USDA's Cattle on Feed report released Friday, reported Inventories were slightly lower, Placements 2 percent higher and Marketings 5 percent higher than a year ago.
