As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs. 2.00-6.00 higher though quality more attractive. Feeder steers over 600 lbs. 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers over 600 lbs. steady to 2.00 higher. No accurate comparison on slaughter cows and bulls due to increased demand from a different source, particularly on fleshy offerings, but a much higher undertone noted and an increased supply of fleshy boner and breaker offerings. Trade active, demand good to very good,especially on cows and bulls.

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.
