As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves under 350 lbs were not well tested. Steer calves 350-400 lbs steady to 1.00 higher; 400-550 lbs 2.00-8.00 higher; 550-600 lbs were steady. Heifer calves 350-600 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 higher. Feeders do not have a good comparison due to light numbers last week. Trade very active, demand very good. Slaughter cows were 5.00-8.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 3.00-7.00 higher.

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.

New Mexico feeder prices, every weight →Every state and region →
