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.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

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.

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.
