*Special Note: Wean-Vac Feeder Cattle Special, mostly multiple vaccinated & long timed weaned offering.

Today at Fairview, the largest offering of the the year was met with good demand and active trade. As compared to two weeks ago, steer calves 400-600lbs traded higher 5.00, with 700-800lbs steers trading lower 6.00. Heifer calves 400-600lbs traded lower 6.00, over 600lbs traded lower 8.00-10.00 giving back some of the gains made two weeks ago. Solid demand continues for feeder steers 600-800lbs.
