As filed

Today at Fairview, as compared to a light offering of one week ago. Feeder steers 400-500lbs traded higher 11.00 with 600-700lb steer calves trading higher 13.00. Steers over 800lbs higher 11.00. Feeder heifers 400-500lbs traded higher 8.00 with 600-700 heifers trading higher 12.00. Active trade with good demand. Very good demand on feeder heifers under 700lbs. Good quality on a mostly long timed weaned, multiple vaccinated offering.
