Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded 5.00-10.00 higher with spots 15.00 higher. Yearlings were not well tested. Demand was very good on a moderate supply. Quality was above average with several large drafts of long-time weaned and vaccinated, black-hided calves. Rain across the Southern Plains has renewed interest in calves, with a much better outlook for wheat pastures for grazing.
