Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, and based on a lighter test this week, Feeder Steers could not be established due to a lack of comparable receipts. Feeder heifers sold 12.00 to 25.00 lower, with the exception of 3-weights 35.00 to 80.00 lower and weak demand noted. Feeder bulls weighing up to 450 lbs. sold 5.00 to 30.00 higher and good demand noted, with those weighing 450-550 lbs. 12.00 to 15.00 lower, and those over 550 lbs. unevenly steady. Overall lower prices on feeder cattle due to the recent downturn in the feeder cattle futures market. Slaughter cows sold 3.00 to 8.00 lower overall with slaughter bulls 10.00 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.
