As filed

Compared to the same sale last week, Slaughter cows 1.00 higher. Bulls steady. Steers and bulls under 500 lbs 5.00 to 10.00 higher, over 500 mostly steady. Heifers steady to 7.00 higher. Quality fair to fancy. Demand good.

Tennessee weighted averages
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.
