Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last weeks sale; Steer and heifer calves sold mostly steady. Steer yearlings were steady and heifer feeders had insufficient numbers to compare.. Rain in the area has slowed the numbers down. Trade was active and demand was good Slaughter cows sold steady to 1.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 3.00 lower. Market was moderate with 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.
