Heifers were the main feature of a small prime cattle offering at Canterbury Park last Tuesday.   Charolais and Charolais-cross heifers, 480-660kg, made $2.80-$2.87/kg but were pipped to the top price by a pair of 482kg Speckle Park-cross at $2.88/kg. Dairy-beef and traditional types, 457-560kg, were $2.62-$2.73/kg. The best of the heavy steers was 585-630kg Charolais-cross at $2.90-$2.91/kg while other breeds over 500kg largely sold within $2.65-$2.75/kg. In the store section, dairy-beef filled the R3 pens and better Hereford-Friesian steers, 410-438kg, made $2.57-$2.59/kg while second cuts traded from $2.21/kg to $2.38/kg across the sexes. Only 12 pens of store lambs were offered, and they typically made $115-$140. Heavy prime lambs earned up to $235 with good types mostly $140-$174. The best ewes earned $185-$230 with the balance mostly spread from $130-$170. Read more in your LivestockEye.
