Today at Fairview, above average weather conditions, an attractive, mostly long timed weaned and vaccinated offering drove trade higher across most weight classes. Feeder steers 400-600lbs traded higher 15.00, above 600lbs higher 12.00-18.00. Feeder heifers 400-600lbs higher 12.00-18.00, feeder heifers above 600lbs trading higher 10.00-12.00. Good to very good demand with active buyer participation.
