Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded steady to 4.00 higher with spots 6.00 higher. Demand was good on a light supply. The quality of the offering was above average and was presented in small drafts averaging 3.85 head/draft. Even though muddy conditions continue across the area, Spring Turkey Season in both Missouri and Arkansas contributed to the light supplies.
