A good number of buyers arrived at Wellsford on Monday, which resulted in some good competition for the 300-odd cattle yarded and an excellent store cattle sale.

Weaner prices were particularly strong, while older cattle were generally steady.

R3 steers mostly earned $2.80-$2.90/kg, with a line of Hereford-Friesian, 395kg, at $3.04/kg. A few R2 steers mainly returned $2.81-$2.91/kg, while $2.80-$2.85/kg was common for the R2 heifers. 

All the weaners sold very well, with good weaner steers, 228-284kg, fetching $805-$990. Weaner heifers were strong, with Hereford-Friesian, 126-162kg, making $600-$685, $4.23-$5/kg. Nine heavy Herefords 248-262kg sold for $810-$830. Most weaner bulls, 140-200kg, earned $515-$580.
