As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers sold 7.00 higher overall with no comparisons available for feeder steers and bulls due to limited comparable receipts, but a higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows sold 4.00 to 13.00 higher, with slaughter bulls 2.00 lower.

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.
