Compared to last week: Steer calves under 550 lbs 3.00 to 7.00 higher, over 550 lbs steady to 4.00 higher. Heifer calves unevenly steady. Good demand this week as cow/calf producers were able to get their cattle loaded and shipped to the auctions, where there were plenty of buyers ready to buy them. Cash cattle and the futures contracts did not add support to the feeder cattle market this week but that did not deter cattle feeders, who are basically complete with their corn harvest and want to get their yards filled.
