As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves 5.00-10.00 higher. Heifer calves sold mostly 3.00-7.00 higher on comparable sales. Feeder steers and heifers have no accurate comparison. Trade active, demand good for calves that are suitable for grazing. Slaughter bulls sold 2.00-8.00 higher on comparable weights. Slaughter cows sold mixed, with breaker cattle selling steady and boner and lean cattle selling to 2:00-3:00 lower. Slaughter bulls have no comparison due to light receipts last week.

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.
