SPECIAL FEEDER CATTLE SALE - - - Compared to the auction last week, 500 - 600 lb. steers were 8.00 to 11.00 higher, 700 - 800 lb. steer cattle were 5.00 to 7.00 higher. Heifer calves weighing 500 - 600 lb were 7.00 to 10.00 higher with eight weight heifers fully steady. Many high quality, reputation replacement heifers were available today. Today's offering was mostly quality, home raised, long time weaned feeder calves. Demand was very good throughout the auction. Trade was active for today's moderate offering.
