No comparisons available for feeder steers and bulls due to limited comparable receipts, but a sharply higher undertone was noted for bulls weighing up to 600 lbs. Slaughter cows sold 10.00 to 11.00 lower overall, with no comparisons available for slaughter bulls due to limited comparable receipts, but a sharply lower undertone was 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.
