As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls gauging 1.00 to 3.00 lower overall, with no comparisons available for feeder classes due to a light test last week, but a lower undertone was noted for feeder bulls. Discounts for excess flesh and fill on feeder cattle was also noted.

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.
