Compared to the same sale two weeks ago, Slaughter cows and bulls steady. Steers steady to 6.00 higher. Heifers under 600 lbs steady to 2.00 lower, over 600 lbs steady to 6.00 higher. Bulls 5.00 to 10.00 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.
