As filed

Compared to last week: Steer calves 13.00-17.00 higher, feeders 3.00-10.00 higher, the most advance on a few 600-700 lbs. Heifer calves under 600 lbs. 9.00-16.00 higher except 300-400 lbs. 20.00- 31.00 higher. A good selection of weaned, value added calves with good condition and quality more attractive. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher, bulls 3.00 higher. Trade very active, demand very good with increased buyer participation.

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.
