As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves sold 6.00-8.00 higher, with instances 15.00 higher on 550-600 lbs, with the exception of 450-500 lb steers, selling 5.00-10.00 lower. Heifer calves under 400 lbs not comparable due to small numbers last week; 400-450 lbs 3.00-7.00 higher; over 450 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher, with the exception of 450-500 lbs 2.00 lower. Feeder steers 8.00-13.00 higher on comparable sales. Feeder heifers 600-650 lbs 3.00 higher; over 650 lbs not well tested. Trade active, demand good, with excellent buyer attendance. Slaughter cows and bulls did not have sufficient numbers last week to compare to.

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.
