Special Feeder Sale

 

1002 cattle in Fairview today.  The weather the past two days affected the size of the sale and the unpredictable weather for the coming week or so affected prices to a degree.  Several buyers did not want to risk moving cattle due to the unpredictable weather ahead and left empty.  The market was brisk and very fair under the circumstances.
