SPECIAL FEEDER CATTLE SALE TODAY -- Compared to last week's auction, 500 - 600 lb steer calves were 7.00 to 9.00 higher, seven weight steers were 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Heifer calves: 500 - 600 lb were 5.00 to 8.00 higher with seven weight cattle fully steady. Available today was a great offering of LTW, green, double vaccinated feeder calves in load lots. Trade was active. Demand was very good for today's moderate supply
