As filed

Compared to last week, on a light test, Feeder steers sold steady to 15.00 lower, with Feeder Heifers selling 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Feeder Bulls were not well established due to a lack of comparable receipts. Slaughter Cows and Bulls sold mostly steady.

One grade step is worth $17.71/cwt here — about $50 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 600–700 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

31 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $485.49, low $362.48, median $439.14 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

How this sale compares

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.
