Compared to last week: Steer calves under 550 lbs. 2.00-6.00 lower, calves over 550-600 lbs. 3.00 higher. Feeders 600-700 lbs. 2.00-4.00 higher, over 700 lbs. 1.00 lower. Heifer calves under 600 lbs.1.00-5.00 lower on comparable quotes, over 600 lbs. 3.00-4.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher, no comparison on bulls due to limited receipts. Trade and demand moderate due to a cold, windy winter storm in the trade area with snow and icy road conditions in some areas.

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.
