Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were mostly steady to 2.00 lower with light to moderate demand. Long-weaned (45+ days), preconditioned feeder cattle continue to see the best demand as fall temperature swings can create health issues for feeder cattle, especially those freshly weaned. Slaughter cows and bulls were mostly 1.00-2.00 lower with mostly moderate demand.

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.
