Compared to last sale; Steer calves sold steady to 7.00 lower and steer yearlings were steady to 8.00 lower while heifer calves sold 2.00-8.00 lower and feeder heifers were 2.00 lower. Trade was slow with good demand on smaller numbers. Slaughter cows sold steady and slaughter bulls were 6.00 higher. Market was moderate and buyer attendance was excellent.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $485.79, low $354.58, median $434.57 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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.
