At Fairview this evening, a large offering of feeder cattle was met with active buyer participation and good demand. An upward trend continued in mid weight steers 400-800lbs, trading 5-7 higher. Heifers of the same weight classes also trading higher 3-6. As compared to a month ago, sub 400lb steers and heifers traded steady with a lower undertone.
