Compared to last week: Steer calves under 500 lbs. 7.00-9.00 lower, 550-600 lbs. 9.00-12.00 lower, 600-700 lbs. mostly 10.00 lower. Calves and feeders not as attractive as last week. Over 700 lb. feeders 5.00 lower. Heifer calves under 600 lbs. steady to 3.00 lower, feeder 600-650 lbs. steady, over 700 lbs. 9.00 lower. All calves and feeders under pressure from rapid declines in the CME markets the past several days. Slaughter cows and bulls steady to 1.00 higher. Trade moderate to active, demand moderate.

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.
