As filed

No accurate comparison on any class due to no reported sales the past two weeks due to the holidays but a much higher trend in calves under 500 lbs. and a very uneven market. A good selection of weaned calves with good weighing conditions. Feeders also trending higher. Slaughter cows and bulls steady to strong. Trade active, demand very 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.
