Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Trends could not be established due to a reporter not being available last week. All classes of Cattle tended to trade with a higher undertone compared to two weeks ago. Quality good to fancy, demand good to strong.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.85, low $339.74, median $415.57 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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.
