As filed

Compared to last week: No accurate comparison available on steer or heifer calves or feeders due to the majority of receipts this week being unweaned or fleshy and a winter storm in the area limiting demand. A few 700-750 lb. steers steady and a few 500-550 lb. heifers steady to 1.00 higher. Trade and demand moderate due to the winter storm with some limited moisture and windy conditions with temperatures nearing freezing. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 lower, bulls 2.00 lower. Trade active, demand good for replacements and slaughter cows and bulls with temperatures moderating Thursday.

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.
