Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers under 600 lbs. 5.00-700 lower, over 600 lbs. unevenly steady to instances 3.00 higher on 600-7.00 heifers. Slaughter cows and bulls 1.00-3.00 higher. Trade and demand moderate on feeders with less participation due to the upcoming holiday and winter storm predicted later this week Slaughter cows and bull trade very active with this being the only auction in the area this week.

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.
