Feed is hardening off a little through Canterbury, which meant good interest in short-term store cattle at Canterbury Park.

A decent sized gallery of buyers weren’t able to bring store lamb prices has high as last week, but they still sold well overall. Medium-to-good lambs were $69-$75, while lighter lines were mostly $54-$65.

Heavier prime lambs felt some weakness, dropping too they made $100-$108. Mediums were $90-$100 and lighter lines $80-$87. Prime ewes actually lifted $5-$10 on the previous sale. Heavier lines were generally $90-$116, with more moderate pens $70-$86.

Prime steers 515kg plus mostly traded at $2.82-$2.97/kg, though forward store lines were even more sought after at $3.00-$3.13/kg. Prime bulls 519-610kg were making $2.60-$2.69/kg. Prime heifers 458-513kg fetched $2.70-$2.81/kg, though the odd forward store line went as high as $2.96/kg.

The first store offering of the new year sold to expectations. Angus-cross steers 333-380kg made $1120-$1270 while Hereford-cross steers 316-348kg went for $1025-$1100. Angus-Hereford heifers 326-415kg all made $1030-$1260.

The weaner market eased on last year to $405-$420 for 92-102kg Friesian bulls. Hereford-Friesian heifers 138-148kg made $500-$575 and 132-157kg steers $520-$600.
