Compared to last week, steer calves over 550 lbs. were 8.00-12.00 higher with lighter weight steers 15.00-20.00 higher. Heifer calves were 10.00-20.00 higher. Demand was very good on a moderate supply. The largest draft of the day was 270 head of 578 lb. steers which sold for 490.00/cwt. Another stick-out draft was 20 head of steers weighing 711 lbs. which sold for 428.00/cwt. The quality of the offering was above average with several load size drafts in the offering. The CME Cattle Futures traded lower and had little or no effect on the cash markets as most all weight ranges saw good gains. Rain over the weekend was helpful but not enough to calm drought concerns.
