Two-year beef bulls made $2.65-$2.70/kg, with Friesians at $2.40-$2.45/kg. Two-year Hereford-Friesian and Angus-cross heifers weren’t far off their brothers, making $2.60/kg. Traditional two-year bulls achieved $2.60-$2.68/kg, easing to $2.40/kg for Friesians.
One-year cattle performed better than expected as prices actually rose on the last offering. Hereford-Friesian, Angus-Friesian and Charolais-Hereford steers ranged across $2.80-$3.02/kg, while Hereford-Friesian heifers went for $2.64-$2.70/kg.
Weaner Friesian bulls 110-150kg still sold well at $500-$570, though 110kg Friesian heifers were just $400-$420.
The only signs of weakness was among the boner cows. Heavier Friesians managed $1.70-$1.75/kg, but this fell back to $1.40-$1.60/kg for lighter types.
