Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; Steer calves under 500 lbs had too low of numbers this week on comparable sales to report.. 500-600 lb steers were 10.00 higher. Heifer calves 350-400 lbs sold 6.00 higher while 400-550 lbs were significantly lower. Feeder heifers and heifer calves over 550 lbs were sharply higher. Slaughter cows were 3.00 higher to 7.00 lower while slaughter bulls sold 4.00-5.00 higher. Trade was erratic on ordinary numbers with a pre-holiday market .Excellent buyer attendance.

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.
