Compared to last week, steer calves traded 5.00-10.00 higher while heifer calves trade 3.00-6.00 higher. Demand was very good on a moderate supply. Long-time weened and ready to turnout calves were in greatest demand with green grass looking for warmer nights to start growing. The USDA's Cattle on Feed Report released Friday, reported Inventories were up 1 percent over last year with Placements 9 percent higher and Marketings 5 percent higher. Inspite of these bearish numbers, feeder and live cattle contracts showed positive gains on Tueday as corn traded sharply lower.
