Compared to last week: Steer calves under 600 lbs. mostly 10.00-16.00 higher, instances 28.00 higher on 300-350 lbs.. No accurate comparison over 600 lbs. but a lower undertone noted except a few 700-750 lbs. 8.00 higher. Heifer calves under 450 lbs. 6.00-12.00 higher, over 450 lbs. 2.00-7.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 lower, bulls 2.00 lower. Trade active, demand 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.
