A limited offering of store cattle met soft demand at Canterbury Park last Tuesday. R2 traditional steers, 350kg, sold well at $2.73/kg, though red Hereford-Friesian, 417kg, fetched $2.30/kg. The usual buyers were present for the prime cattle and high yielding steers firmed to $2.66-$2.76/kg, while the majority held at $2.55-$2.65/kg. Prime heifers at more desirable weights were able to make $2.62-$2.67/kg while heavy Angus cows, 660-685kg, realized $2.09-$2.11/kg.
A large gallery of buyers was present for just under 1500 store lambs, which sold on a firm market where heavy types made $110-$128, medium $90-$100 and light $50-$80. Prime lamb quality firmed with the top end at $160-$186, medium $135-$155 and bottom end at $120-$130. Read more in your LivestockEye.
