As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs. 5.00-11.00 lower except 400-500 lb. heifers steady. Steer calves over 600 lbs. 2.00-4.00 lower, heifers 5.00-6.00 lower. No accurate comparison on feeders due to limited receipts both weeks with few yearling types offered. Slaughter cows 5.00-8.00 lower, bulls 6.00 lower. Trade and demand moderate.

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.
