Compared to the same sale last week, Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 2.00 higher. Not enough feeder cattle receipts last week to establish a trend. Quality fair to fancy. Demand strong.

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.
