Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: No accurate comparison on steer and heifer calves or feeders due to weighing conditions not as favorable and higher percentage of unweaned offerings but a lower undertone noted. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 higher on limited quotes, bulls steady. Trade moderate to active, demand good.

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.
