As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers unevenly steady with exception of those weighing up to 350 lbs. sharply lower. Feeder bulls weighing up to 400 lbs. sharply lower, with those weighing over 400 lbs. 7.00 lower. No comparisons available for feeder steers and slaughter bulls due to limited comparable receipts, however, a lower undertone was noted for slaughter bulls. Slaughter cows gauging 1.00 to 5.00 lower overall.

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.
