As filed

Compared to last week, breaker and boning slaughter cows 5.00 to 6.00 higher, with lean cows 12.00 higher, and bulls 10.00 higher. No comparisons available for feeder classes due to limited receipts in response to recent extreme winter weather conditions.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

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.
