As filed

Compared to last week; lighter steer and heifer calves sold steady to 4.00 higher with heavier steer and heifer calves trading 4.00 to 7.00 higher with a few instances 9.00 higher. Yearling steers and heifers also trading higher to comparable trades last week. Most of the offering consisted of mainly preconditioned calves with a few weaned calves showing up in the offering. Buyers still willing to pay a premium for preconditioned calves over calves with just spring shots.
