As filed

Compared to last week. steer calves under 400 lbs were not well tested; 400-450 lbs were 20.00 lower; steer calves over 450 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 higher. Heifer calves were mostly steady to 4.00 higher, with 300-350 lbs 9.00 higher. Feeder steers traded 8.00-12.00 higher. Feeder heifers were 7.00 higher on comparable sales. Trade moderate to active, demand moderate to good with good buyer attendance. Slaughter cows sold steady. Slaughter bulls have no comparison due to light offerings last week.

This sale against other markets

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.
