As filed

Compared to last week steer calves, 350-400 lbs. sold steady; 400-550 lbs were 10.00-20.00 higher, while 550-600 lbs were 5.00-6.00 lower. Heifer calves under 400 lbs had insufficient numbers last week to compare; 400-600 lbs 8.00-16.00 higher. Feeder steers 600-650 lbs have no comparison; 650-700 lbs. were steady to 2.00 lower; over 650 lbs were not well tested. Feeder heifers had insufficient comparable numbers. Trade active, demand good, with excellent buyer attendance. Slaughter cows 2.00-7.00 higher. Slaughter bulls not well tested but a higher undertone noted.

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.
