Seasonal Tuesday sale today featuring Red Angus calves, no accurate comparisons to last week's regular sale. Good to very good demand for this offering of mostly Red Angus calves selling in loads and packages with best demand for replacement quality heifers. Many attractive calves to choose from, most were fully preconditioned and all were off the cow. An active market with few order buyers and more bull breeders and farmers in the seats. Next feeder cattle sale is Thursday, October 24, expecting over 6000 head.
