As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steer and heifer calves sold mostly 10.00-15.00 higher, instances sharply higher on heifers weighing 300-350 lbs. Feeder steers and heifers have no accurate comparison. Trade active demand good for calves going back on pasture. Slaughter cows traded 5.00-6.00 higher on a light test. Slaughter bulls were not well tested.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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.
