As filed

Compared to the same sale last week, Slaughter cows steady. Slaughter bulls not well established. Steer trends could not be established due to inadequate receipts last week. However, a sharply lower undertone was apparent. Heifers under 450 lbs 10.00 to 20.00 lower, over 450 lbs 3.00 to 10.00 lower. Bulls mostly steady.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $456.21, low $309.60, median $362.19 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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.
