Special Calf & Yearling Sale. There hasn't been a recently reported feeder cattle sale, with the exception of the World Livestock Auctioneer Championship auction. As that special auction brought prices beyond the "norm", a trend is not applicable today. A featured consignment of 400 heifers, mostly yearlings, was the highlight of today's sale. Steers and lightweight heifers were limited in numbers. Demand was good both in the arena and online.
