As filed

Compared to last week: Steer calves 2.00-4.00 lower, feeders over 600 lbs. steady to 1.00 lower. Heifer calves uneven, mostly 1.00 lower, few 450-550 lbs. 4.00 higher, feeders over 600 lbs. 3.00-4.00 higher. Slaughter cows mostly steady a few lean cows 2.00 lower, bulls 2.00-4.00 lower though quality not as attractive with more lean bulls in the offering. Trade and demand moderate to good with quality more attractive on calves and feeders.

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.
