SPECIAL FEEDER CATTLE SALE -- Compared to the previous auction on 12 -21-23, 600 - 700 lb steer calves were 4.00 to 6.00 higher, 700 - 800 lb steers were 5.00 to 8.00 higher. Six weight heifer calves were 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Great offering today of quality, LTW'd, vaccinated feeder calves in load lots. Demand was good for today's moderate supply.
