SPECIAL FEEDER CATTLE SALE TODAY -- Compared to the auction last week, 500 - 600 lb steer calves were 9.00 to 12.00 higher, seven weight steers were 12.00 to 15.00 higher. 500 - 600 lb feeder heifers were 6.00 to 9.00 higher while 600 - 700 lb heifers were 8.00 to 13.00 higher. This fall's weather has caused an increased amount of flesh on most feeder calves. Excellent offering today of LTW, double vaccinated, high quality feeder calves and yearlings in load lots. Demand was very good on today's moderate offering.
