Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs. 8.00-10.00 higher, a fee value added 13.00-15.00 higher though quality and weighing conditions more attractive. Calves and feeders over 600 lbs. steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower, bulls 3.00 lower. Trade active, demand very good on calves and feeders, trade and demand moderate on slaughter cows and bulls.

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.
