Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the same sale last week, Slaughter cows steady. Slaughter bulls not well established. Steer trends could not be established due to inadequate receipts last week. However, a sharply lower undertone was apparent. Heifers under 450 lbs 10.00 to 20.00 lower, over 450 lbs 3.00 to 10.00 lower. Bulls mostly steady.

How this sale compares

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.
