As filed

Due to a lack of comparable receipts, trends could not be established. Feeder Heifers & Feeder Bulls tended to sell with a higher undertone while Feeder Steers & Slaughter Cattle tended to sell with a steady to softer undertone. Quality fair to good, Demand good.

Tennessee weighted averages
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.
