Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 8.00 lower overall, with no comparisons available for slaughter bulls and feeder classes due to limited comparable receipts, but a lower undertone was noted for slaughter bulls and a sharply lower undertone noted for feeder classes. Decreased demand for feeder classes was also noted.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $462.86, low $335.63, median $409.72 across 21 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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.
