Knoxville - Compared to last week, based on a heavier test this week, feeder steers sharply higher overall, with feeder bulls unevenly steady. Feeder heifers weighing up to 450 lbs. sharply higher, with those weighing 450 to 600 lbs. 3.00 higher, and no comparisons available for those weighing over 600 lbs. due to limited comparable receipts.

Today's offerings included the following load lot: 1 load ML 1-2 preconditioned Heifers, 467 lbs., $283.50, medium flesh, mostly black/black-white-face.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.

Source: USDA AMS, as filed — nothing recomputed and nothing rounded. This summary aggregates the same sales the Tennessee barn reports cover, so it must never be added to a state total built from those barns.
