As filed

Compared to last week: Steer calves under 600 lbs. 1.00-4.00 higher, calves and feeders over 600 lbs. steady to 1.00 lower. Heifer calves under 600 lbs. 3.00-5.00 higher, no accurate comparison over 600 lbs. but a much higher undertone on 700-800 lbs., though quality much more attractive. Slaughter cows 1.00 higher, bulls 2.00 higher. Trade active, demand very good.

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.
