Canterbury Park cattle and sheep 1.04

Steers were the highlight of the prime section at Canterbury Park last Tuesday. A few traditional steers managed $2.55-$2.64/kg while plenty of well-finished animals over 600kg traded from $2.36/kg to $2.49/kg. The rest sat within a weight range of 500-600kg and fetched $2.20-$2.30/kg. Nearly all heifers over 450kg earned $2.20-$2.30/kg regardless of breed. Cows were selectively bought. Most of the store lambs sold from $87-$109 while a few heavy pens stretched to $118. Heavy prime lambs managed $181-$184 and $115-$161 covered the balance. The best ewes made $226-$235 with the remainder of the better types $119-$176. Read more in your LivestockEye.
