Compared to Thursday: best test on steers 500 to 550 lbs 4.00 to 6.00 lower, 551 to 600 lbs mostly steady. Most of today's heifers sold as replacements so an accurate price trend could not be established. Today was a special Tuesday feeder cattle sale featuring Red Angus cattle. Moderate to good demand for steers, very good demand for heifers. Most of today's cattle had full preconditioning and all but one consignment came off the cow. Flesh condition mostly light to moderate and quality mostly average to attractive. An active market with bull breeders, producers, and some order buyers all competing for heifers suitable for replacements. Moderate market activity on steers and feeding type heifers with many of the normal buyers not attending the sale today. Next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, October 27, expecting 7000 calves.
