Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Trends could not be established due to a lack of comparable receipts last week, but all classes of Feeder and Slaughter Cattle tended to sell with a higher undertone. Quality fair to fancy, Demand good to strong.

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.
