As filed

Compared to the same sale last week, Slaughter cows and bulls steady. Steers and bulls under 650 lbs steady to 3.00 higher, over 650 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Heifers steady to 2.00 higher. Quality fair to fancy. Demand good.

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Tennessee auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
