Paddocks remain saturated, causing some to off-load earlier than they would have liked. However, the wet didn’t seem detrimental to the market because outside buyers were again in support.
A small number of R3 steers sold for $2.80-$2.87/kg. Traditional R2 steers lifted, with Angus-cross, 386-446kg, fetching $2.80-$2.92/kg.
Quality R3 and R2 heifers, 351-490kg, earned $2.71-$2.84/kg, to remain steady.
Hereford R1 steers 288kg returned $910, Angus-cross 233kg, $850. Good Hereford and Hereford-Friesian R1 heifers, 247-262kg, fetched $840-$845, Hereford-Friesian, 167-177kg, $610-$645.
Wellsford will hold their grown cattle fair next Monday with a good yarding expected.
