As filed

Compared to last week, feeder bulls sold unevenly steady with no market trends available for feeder steers and heifers due to limited comparable receipts from last week's sale, however, a higher undertone was noted for those weighing over 500 lbs. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady. Heavier receipts and higher demand was noted for feeder classes, as today's sale included the regional qualifier for the Livestock Marketing Association World Livestock Auctioneer Championship. Thirty-two auctioneers competed, with the top ten advancing to the finals to be held in Deadwood, South Dakota in June 2026.

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.
