Heifers under 600 lbs. 5.00-7.00 higher, instances 9.00-11.00 higher on 300-450 lbs. Heifers over 600 lbs. mostly 1.00-2.00 higher, instances 5.00 higher on 800-900 lbs though quality more attractive. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 higher, bulls steady on limited receipts.

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.
