As filed

No accurate comparison with last week due to very limited receipts last week due to the winter storm. Compared to two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers and calves 4.00-5.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00-4.00 higher, bulls steady on limited receipts. Trade active, demand very good.

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.
