As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were mostly steady after last week's sharply higher market. Trade was very active, demand very good. Offering including several loads of yearlings coming off of wheat. Slaughter cows and bulls have no comparison.

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.

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.
