Compared to last week new crop spring calves too lightly tested. Yearling steers and heifers sold steady to 6.00 higher excepts 900 lbs heifers sold 3.00 lower. Demand was moderate for light weight calves with good demand for yearling feeders. Feedlots sent out buy orders as it's that time of year where yearling feeders are getting in tight supply to purchase. Hence, why the market was higher this week on those cattle even though the CME cattle boards traded lower most of the week. Big piles of cheaper feed are getting laid into feedlots and it should help with a cost of gain less than a dollar this fall without interest. Feedlot sales were slow to trade with live sales 3.00 lower at 181.00 and dressed sales sold steady to 4.00 lower at 288.00.
