Special Feeder Calf Sale Today - Compared to auction last week, 500 - 600 lb. steer calves were 6.00 - 8.00 higher, 700 weight steers sold with a lower undertone, yearlings were fully steady. 500 - 600 lb heifers were 6.00 - 8.00 lower. The quality of today's offering was superior to last week's with many groups of both LTW and "off the cow", vaccinated, green, new crop steers and heifers. Trade was active for today's moderate supply.
