As filed

Compared to last week, Feeder Steers sold 5.00-15.00 higher, with Feeder Heifers selling 3.00-8.00 higher. No trends could be established on Feeder Bulls due to a lack of comparable receipts. Breaking Slaughter Cows sold 1.00-5.00 higher, while Boning and Lean Slaughter Cows sold mostly steady. Slaughter Bulls sold 5.00 lower.

One grade step is worth $43.96/cwt here — about $101 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $415.50, low $339.43, median $399.11 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.
