Feeder steers 600-700 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher and 750-850 lbs were 3.00 to 15.00 higher. Heifer calves under 450 lbs had too small of numbers this week to compare. 450-550 lbs sold sharply lower but 550-600 lbs were 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers 600-650 lbs were 6.00 higher and 650-700 lbs sold 12.00 higher. Slaughter cows were steady while slaughter bulls sold 3.00 higher. Trade was moderate on larger numbers with unsteady demand . Excellent buyer attendance.

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.
