Feeder steers and heifers 8.00-11.00 lower except a few 700-800 lbs. steady. Quality not as attractive and declining CME quotes last week reducing demand. Slaughter cows and bulls steady to 1.00 higher.

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.
