Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifers weighing under 650 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher. Yearlings not well tested. Trade activity was light to moderate on moderate demand. Heavy rains across the area made getting cattle to market difficult. Slaughter cows and bulls had insufficient numbers to compare. Market was good with excellent buyer attendance

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $432.90, low $314.16, median $379.18 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

This sale against other markets

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.
