Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Due to a lack of comparable receipts, trends for Feeder Cattle could not be established, but tended to trade lower with excessively fleshy and unweaned calves receiving a considerable discount. Slaughter Cows $2.00-$4.00 lower, Slaughter Bulls mostly steady. Quality fair to good, 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.
