Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves 5.00-15.00 higher with biggest advancement on steers and bigger heifers. No trend to set on unweaned cattle but the market was noticeably higher. Most buyers are focused on immediate supply more closely than the daily swings in cattle futures. Because of historically high prices, calves normally held for fall-runs are being brought to town now, both weaned and unweaned.

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on steers or heifers due to last weeks light test, but a higher undertone was noted. Quality was mixed, but buyer demand remains strong amid short cattle supplies. Some heavier-fleshed cattle and unweaned calves are beginning to come off the tall grass. With overall cattle numbers remaining tight, the discount for unweaned calves seems to be smaller than in previous years so far. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 5.00 higher.
