As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves 300-450 lbs were 15.00 lower while 450-500 lbs sold 5.00 higher and 500-600 lbs were 3.00-13.00 lower. Feeder steers 600-700 lbs sold 22.00-23.00 lower. Heifer calves 300-400 lbs were 9.00-11.00 lower and 400-450-lbs sold 23.00 lower while 450-550 lbs were 8.00-9.00 lower and 550-600 lbs were 27.00 lower. Insufficient numbers on feeder heifers for comparison. Trade was lower on a lower market with unsteady demand.. Slaughter cows were 2.00 higher to 11.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold 5.00 higher to 11.00 lower. Lower numbers 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.
