Thursday, March 22, 2018 -  Wean Vac Feeder Sale


2267 cattle sold at Fairview Sale Barn today. The market was very active and except for consignments carrying a lot of flesh, demand was excellent.  With the prices listed on the board for the coming months, you can see how cattle feeders are less than optimistic.  Greener cattle with grass potential that will stretch into the spring months where fed cattle are normally higher.  So optimism for them is at a higher level and they sold considerably higher than the fleshy ones.
