As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves 2.00-9.00 higher, with the exception of 550-600 lbs trading steady to 5.00 lower. Heifer calves 2.00-8.00 higher, with 450-550 lbs 15.00-20.00 higher. Feeder steers were 2.00-8.00 higher on comparable sales. Not enough feeder heifers last week to compare to, with the exception of 600-650 lbs trading 3.00 higher. Trade active, demand good, with excellent buyer attendance. Slaughter cow and bull numbers last week were too few to compare, however a higher undertone noted.

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.
