Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: No accurate comparison on steer calves 300-350 lbs. and 500-550 lbs. due to more attractive weighing conditions last week but other weights steady to 2.00 lower. Feeders over 600 lbs. not well tested but a higher undertone noted on a few yearling type offerings. Feeder heifers and calves mostly 1.00 lower except 300-350 lbs. 2.00 higher and 450-500 lbs. 5.00 higher though quality more attractive. Slaughter cows steady to strong, bulls 2.00 higher. Trade active demand 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.
