As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers sold unevenly steady with exception of those weighing over 600 lbs. 15.00 to 25.00 lower. Feeder bulls weighing up to 400 lbs. sold 5.00 to 30.00 lower, with those weighing between 400 and 600 lbs. mostly steady, and those weighing over 600 lbs. 12.00 to 18.00 lower. No market trends available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts from this week's sale. Lighter receipts and decreased demand for feeder cattle was noted for this week, as both were inflated last week due to the inclusion of the regional qualifier for the Livestock Marketing Association World Livestock Auctioneer Competition. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher with slaughter bulls 3.00 lower. Replacement offerings for today's sale included a group of 18 high-quality bred heifers from one producer, with strong demand for replacements females noted.

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.
