Compared to last week: Steer calves 5.00 to 6.00 higher, except 450-500 lbs steady, heifer calves 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Very good demand for calves this week after the large advances seen early week in the CME Live and Feeder Cattle futures. Cattle feeders were feeling better about the coming months of the fed cattle market as the futures finally found some strength and moved higher. Large auction receipts as cow/calf producers had a good week to get their cattle gathered and shipped to town without any winter storms to interfere.
