As filed

Compared to the same sale last week. Slaughter cows and bulls 2.00 higher. Feeder steers steady to 6.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 550lbs 2.00-10.00 higher, over 550lbs steady to 3.00 lower. Feeder bulls 5.00-10.00 higher. Quality fair to fancy. Demand moderate.

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.
