Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were unevenly steady with mostly moderate to good demand throughout the week. Buyers are showing the most interest in long-weaned (45+ days), preconditioned feeder cattle, especially as fall temperature fluctuations can create health concerns for freshly weaned calves. Slaughter cows and bulls were mostly 1.00-2.00 lower.

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.
