Compared to two weeks ago: Steer calves under 600 lbs. unevenly steady to 4.00 lower, though quality not as attractive, feeders over 600 lbs. steady on limited comparable quotes except a few 750-800 lbs. 4.00 higher. Heifer calves and feeders unevenly steady, a few 600-650 lbs. 4.00 higher. Quality not as attractive on feeders. Slaughter cows 1.00 lower, bulls 1.00 higher. Rain in the trade area the past few weeks has improved the outlook and created some optimism concerning the outlook for future pasture and may have limited receipts.

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.
