Compared to last week: Steer calves under 500 lbs. mostly 4.00 higher, 500-600 lbs. 5.00-10.00 higher. Feeders and calves 600-700 lbs. 1.00 lower, over 700 lbs. 2.00 higher. Heifer calves under 600 lbs. steady to 3.00 higher except 300-400 lbs. 5.00 lower and 400-450 lbs. 10.00 higher, feeders over 600 lbs. steady to 2.00 lower. Slaughter cows 5.00 lower, bulls 3.00 higher though quality more attractive. Trade active, demand good.

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.
