As filed

Compared to the same sale last week, Slaughter cows and bulls steady. Steers under 650 lbs 10.00 to 16.00 higher, over 650 lbs 3.00 to 7.00 higher. Heifers under 450 lbs steady to 5.00 higher, over 450 lbs 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Bulls under 650 lbs 10.00 to 20.00 higher, over 650 lbs not well established. Qaulity 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.
