Heifers under 600 lbs 2.00 to 6.00 higher, over 600 lbs steady. Bulls under 650 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 higher, over 650 lbs steady. Quality fair to fancy. Demand goodl

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.
