As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers under 600 lbs. 13.00-17.00 higher compared to limited receipts last week due to the winter storm, over 600 lbs. 3.00-5.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 higher, no comparison on bulls but a much higher undertone noted. Trade active, demand very good.

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.
