As filed

No accurate comparison on feeder steers and heifers or calves but a lower undertone noted due to very limited offerings of weaned calves and weighing conditions not as attractive but a few 300-400 lb. calves steady. Slaughter cows 4.00 lower except a few high yielding cows steady. Bulls steady. Trade and demand moderate.

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.
