Compared to last week, steer calves traded unevenly steady from 2.00 lower to 2.00 higher while heifer calves traded 2.00-4.00 higher. Yearlings were not well tested, however undertones were steady. Demand was good on a light supply. Quality was below average with a lot of colored up calves and bulls in the mix. The USDA's Cattle on Feed Report, released Friday, reported Inventories were down 1 percent, Placements down 4 percent and Marketings up 4 percent when compared to a year ago. Cash price for fed cattle gained 3.00 last week, reaching 148.00 in the South and 152.00 in the North, which was the highest price seen in seven years.
