Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves mostly 3.00 lower, instances 5.00 lower on 450-500 lbs. No accurate comparison on Feeders due to limited offerings both this week and last week with the bulk of the offerings being unweaned. Slaughter cows and bulls 3.00-5.00 lower. Trade and demand moderate.

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.
