As filed

Compared to last week; Steer calves had lower numbers on comparable sales. Heifer calves sold steady. Feeder steers 700-750 lbs sold 4.00 higher while feeder heifers had insufficient numbers to compare on like sales. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-5.00 higher and slaughter bulls were steady to 4.00 higher . Trade was good on an erratic market. Lower numbers with 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.
