Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers sharply higher overall, with feeder bulls 2.00 higher, and no comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts, but a higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows gauging 1.00 to 3.00 lower overall with slaughter bulls 1.00 lower. Let it be noted that today's replacement offerings included receipts from a herd dispersal with fancy offerings.

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.
