As filed

Compared to Last week: Steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs. 1.00-3.00 lower, feeders over 600 lbs. steady to 2.00 higher. Trade moderate to active, demand moderate on calves, good on feeders. Recent rains and muddy conditions limiting demand on lighter weight offerings. Slaughter cows 3.00 lower, bulls 3.00 higher though quality more attractive.

How this sale compares

New Mexico weighted averages

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every New Mexico auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
