Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, quality was good with high demand for feeder heifers and steers. Trends for feeder steers were 5.00 to 15.00 higher with heifers being 2.00 to 8.00 higher and no comparisons on feeder bulls due to limited comparable receipts. Slaughter classes were significantly higher with bulls 6.00 to 7.00 higher, and all slaughter cow classes 12.00 to 20.00 higher.

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.
