SPECIAL FEEDER CATTLE SALE TODAY - Compared to the cattle auction 2 weeks ago, 500 - 600 lb steer calves were 7.00 to 8.00 higher, seven weight cattle 5.00 - 7.00 higher. Heifer trade: 500 - 600 lb sold steady to 6.00 higher. Good demand today for yearling cattle. Today's offering included load lots of high quality, reputation, LTW, double vaccinated, green feeder calves. Demand was aggressive for today's moderate supply.
