As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers sold 5.00 to 22.00 higher overall with instances of 35.00 to 50.00 higher. 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.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $419.64, low $302.47, median $351.93 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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.
