As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers measuring 6.00 higher overall with feeder bulls 4.00 higher, and no comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts, but a higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows gauging 2.00 to 4.00 lower overall with slaughter bulls sharply lower. No sale will be held the next two weeks in observance of the Christmas and New Year holidays.

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.
