Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; steer calves sold 10.00-11.00 higher with exception of 400-500 lbs being 4.00 lower. Feeder steers and heifers had insufficient numbers to compare. Heifer calves had lower numbers on comparable sales. Trade was active on smaller numbers and a stronger market. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-10.00 higher and slaughter bulls were steady to 6.00 higher. Demand was good with excellent buyer attendance

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.
