As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs. mostly 5.00 higher, over 600 lbs. 1.00-3.00 higher except unweaned calves 3.00 lower. Heifers under 500 lbs. 3.00-7.00 higher, over 500 lbs. 2.00-3.00 higher, except 600-650 lb. unweaned calves 2.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 higher, bulls 1.00 lower though quality not as attractive. Trade active, demand good.

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.
