As filed

Compared to last week: No accurate comparison on feeder steers and heifers or calves due to a more attractive offering with a larger selection of weaned calves and quality more attractive in the feeders, but a higher undertone noted with more buyer participation. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 lower, bulls steady to 1.00 higher. Trade active, demand good.

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.
