As filed

Compared to last week, regarding slaughter classes- breaker cows sold 2.00 to 3.00 higher with boning and lean cows 3.00 to 6.00 lower, and slaughter bulls 9.00 higher. No comparisons available for feeder cattle due to limited comparable receipts, however, a higher 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.
