As filed

Compared to last week: Steer calves under 600 lbs. 9.00 higher on comparable quotes, feeders over 600 lbs. mostly 2.00-5.00 higher. Heifer calves under 500 lbs. steady, feeders and calves over 500 lbs. mostly 3.00-4.00 higher except 650-700 lbs. 6.00 higher. Slaughter cows mostly steady on comparable quotes but a higher undertone noted on lean cows but weighing conditions more favorable. No accurate comparison on bulls but a higher undertone noted on limited receipts with more favorable weighing conditions. Trade active, demand good. A cold, windy, winter storm limiting receipts.

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.
