As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves under 400 lbs not well tested. Steer calves 400-600 lbs mostly 4.00 higher. Heifer calves 400-600 lbs sold mostly 2.00-6.00 higher, except 400-450 lbs steady to 4.00 lower. Feeder steers 600-650 lbs and 700-750 lbs traded 13.00-20.00 higher, with 650-700 lbs steady to 2.00 lower; 750-850 lbs were steady to 4.00 higher. Feeder heifers 600-650 lbs steady to 1.00 lower; over 650 lbs have insufficient numbers to compare. Trade active to very active, demand good to very good. Several large consignments of feeders coming off wheat were offered in the mix. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls not well tested.

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.
