Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, Trends could not be established for Feeder Cattle due to a lack of comparable data, but all classes of Feeder Cattle tended to trade with a higher undertone, Slaughter Cows $2.00-$3.00 lower, Slaughter Bulls not well established. Quality good, Demand good.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $427.80, low $317.97, median $377.36 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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.
