Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: No report a week ago due to reporters absence. A good selection of reputation calves under 550 lbs. selling in load lots were in good demand resulting in much higher prices. Steer calves under 550 lbs. instances 20.00 higher though quality and condition more attractive. Feeders over 600 lbs. 2.00-4.00 higher, most advance on offerings over 800 lbs. Heifer calves under 500 lbs. 8.00-15.00 higher though quality and condition more attractive, 500-600 lbs.5.00-11.00 higher, over 600 lbs.6.00-14.00 higher. Slaughter cows 4.00-9.00 higher, bulls 5.00 higher. Trade very active, demand very good.

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.
