As filed

Compared to last week: Steer calves under 600 lbs. 12.00-17.00 higher though quality more attractive. Feeders and calves over 600 lbs. 5.00-8.00 higher. Heifer calves under 600 lbs. 7.00-12.00 higher, feeders and calves over 600 lbs. 5.00-9.00 higher. Trade active, demand very good with more buyer participation. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 lower, bulls steady.

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.

New Mexico feeder prices, every weight →Every state and region →
