As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves and feeders mostly 2.00-4.00 higher. A few lots of 300-400 lb. stocker bulls, long time weaned with a good shot program from a reputation herd in high demand and sold accordingly. Slaughter cows 2.00 higher, no accurate comparison on bulls but a lower undertone noted 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.
