USDA Livestock, Poultry & Grain Market News · Federal-State Market News Service, Nashville, TN (LS-NV)

Feeder CattleReceipts 5,956Last week 7,905Year ago 5,939

Slaughter CattleReceipts 994Last week 1,146Year ago 785

Replacement CattleReceipts 466Last week 795Year ago 348

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were unevenly steady with instances of 3.00-4.00 higher to 3.00-4.00 lower. Demand was mostly moderate for feeder cattle, with the best demand shown for long-weaned (45+ days), preconditioned cattle. As we enter the time of year with warm days and cool nights, health concerns are imminent - more notably in calves that are newly weaned.

Slaughter cows were mostly 2.00-4.00 lower, and slaughter bulls mostly steady.

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.
