Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded steady to 3.00 higher with most weights lightly tested. Demand was good on a light to moderate supply. The USDA's Cattle on Feed report released last week, reported Inventories were up 2 percent, Placements were near steady and Marketings were down 2 percent. In spite of this bearish report, feeder cash markets continued to make modest gains and cattle futures traded mixed.
