Today in Fairview, several weight classes traded mixed as compared to the auction of two weeks ago. Despite harvest in full swing, attendance and buyer participation was active for a good offering of quality feeder cattle. Light weight steers and heifers continue steady while trending slightly higher, mid weight steers and heifers sold higher $2-4. Steers and Heifers over 700lbs continue steady with a lower undertone.
