SPECIAL FEEDER CATTLE SALE - - Compared to the auction last week, 500 - 600 lb steer calves were 3.00 to 5.00 higher, 700 - 800 lb steers were 4.00 to 7.00 higher and eight weight steers were steady with a higher undertone. Light heifer calves weighing 400 - 500 lb were 10.00 - 15.00 higher with 600 - 700 lb heifers 5.00 to 8.00 higher. Today's offering of quality "green", LTW and double vaccinated feeder calves ran very deep. Demand was very good for today's moderate offering.
