Compared to last weeks sale; Steer calves had insufficient numbers to compare but a lower undertone was evident. Heifer calves sold 10.00-15.00 lower. Feeder steers were 5.00-10.00 lower and heifer yearlings sold steady. Trade was slow with light demand on smaller numbers. Slaughter cows were 4.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 2.00 higher. Excellent buyer attendance

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $432.90, low $340.72, median $396.69 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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.
