Steer calves 400-450 lbs were 3.00 higher; 450-500 lbs sold sharply higher; 500-550 lbs 6.00-7.00 higher, with 550-600 lbs 3.00-7.00 lower. Heifer calves steady to 5.00 higher, with 500-600 lbs 6.00-15.00 higher. Feeder steers were steady to 4.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 lower on comparable sales. A large selection of guaranteed open heifers were on offer. Slaughter cows were 7.00-8.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were 4.00-5.00 higher. Trade active, demand good. Excellent buyer attendance on a very windy day.

How this sale compares

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.
