Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers and calves mostly 4.00-8.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls steady. Replacement cows and pairs in very good demand with producers beginning to need to replace their herds that were reduced or dispersed during the drought conditions that have been in effect the past few years throughout the trade area.

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.
