Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers and bulls sharply lower overall, with no comparisons available for feeder steers, but a lower undertone noted for those weighing up to 600 lbs. Lower-quality offerings, and decreased buyer activity due to the approaching July 4th holiday, was noted for feeder classes. Regarding slaughter classes- breaker cows 2.00 to 4.00 higher, with boning and lean cows mostly steady overall, and bulls sharply lower.

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.
