Compared to the special feeder calf sale last Tuesday: steers 500-800 lbs were 5.00-7.00 to sharply higher. Heavier steers, 850 lbs, 11.00 higher. Light heifers, 600-750 lbs 10.00-12.00 to sharply higher. Numerous load lots offered of both calves and yearlings, along with many smaller packages of quality cattle. Good demand today with a handful of order buyers and plenty of producers in the arena.
