Compared to last week, steer calves were unevenly steady and heifer calves were 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Yearlings were not well tested with 84 percent of the offering weighing less than 700 lbs. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Cooler temperatures and frost served as a reminder that Winter isn't over yet. Livestock Futures traded mostly lower as Corn Futures traded higher. Box Beef prices increased as experts expect Friday's Cattle on Feed Report to show lower Inventories.
