There were a good number of beef-cross cattle in all sections, including the few steers which helped keep prices firm. Steers earned $2.61-$2.76/kg, while two Hereford bulls sold to firm demand and fetched $2.78/kg.
Good beef-cross heifers, 400-600kg, sold for $2.60-$2.76/kg and the better beef-cross cows returned $1.90-$1.99/kg. Friesian cows, 450-600kg, sold for $1.68-$1.86/kg.
The lamb market eased as fewer buyers made the trip for a small yarding. Fifteen large lambs sold for $128 but the largest line of 84 males made $112. Good and medium ewes were steady on low numbers at $56-$91, though light grazing ewes were firm at $49-$56.
