Compared to last week: Steer calves under 600 lbs. 5.00 lower on limited comparable quotes but weighing conditions not as attractive with a higher percentage of fleshy unweaned offerings. Feeders and calves over 600 lbs. 2.00-3.00 higher. Heifer calves under 600 lbs. mostly 1.00 lower, feeders over 600 lbs. steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows mostly 2.00 lower, bulls 2.00 lower on very limited offerings.

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.
