Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves under 700 lbs. traded 10.00-15.00 higher with spots 20.00 higher. Heavier weight steers and heifers traded steady to firm. Demand was very good on a moderate to heavy supply. Sunshine and warmer temperatures have dried out the barnyards and roads which allowed more calves to come to town. Cash prices for calves have reach levels not seen for some time and need to continue to rise to cover the increased production costs.
