SPECIAL FEEDER CATTLE SALE -- Compared to Tuesday, 500 - 600 lb steer calves were 4.00 to 8.00 higher, seven weight steers were 5.00 to 8.00 higher. Heifer calves weighing 500 - 600 lbs were 8.00 to 10.00 higher with 700 -800 lb cattle fully steady with a firm undertone. Demand was very good for today's offering of LTW, green, vaccinated calves that were available in load lots. Trade was active for today's moderate supply.
