As filed

Today at Fairview: No price comparison as the last feeder cattle special was more than three weeks ago. A solid offering was met with good to very good demand with active trade. 600-900lb yearlings continue to trade at market highs with several load lots trading noticeably higher as compared to early summer highs. Steer and heifer calves also following the same trend higher across most weights.
