Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves were sharply lower with exception of 550-600 lb steers being steady. Feeder steers 600-650 were 5.00 higher while 650-700 lb sold 7.00-8.00 higher. Feeder heifers had incomparable numbers from last week. Slaughter cows were steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were 2.00-5.00 lower. Trade was active, supply good with excellent buyer attendance

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.
