Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers and bulls sharply higher overall, with no comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts from last week's sale. Increased demand and higher quality was noted for feeder cattle. Regarding slaughter classes- breaker cows 1.00 lower, with boning cows 1.00 to 5.00 higher, lean cows and bulls sharply higher.

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.
