As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs. 3.00-6.00 higher. No comparison on feeder steers over 600 lbs. but a higher undertone noted though quality more attractive. Feeder heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows 3.00 higher, bulls 4.00 higher though quality more attractive. Trade active, demand very good.

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.
