As filed

Today at Fairview, 500-600lb feeder steers traded higher 3.00 - 8.00, same weight feeder heifers trading higher 8.00. Continued strong demand and solid trading for lightweight classes of feeders with lightweight heifers trading noticeably higher. Todays offering of well conditioned and mostly vaccinated feeders met for a continued upward price trend.
