It was a cold start at Canterbury Park last Tuesday. Store lamb throughput was easily absorbed by the buying bench and large male lines sold in the tight range of $117-$123 while heavy mixed-sex firmed to $97-$123. Very-heavy ewe entries earned $212-$224 with heavy types at $170-$186, while most of the yarding made $100-$164.
The cattle section was an all prime affair and heifer prices generally matched steer value. A pair of Simmental-cross heifers, 505kg, were the highest priced at $2.68/kg, while Murray Grey, 504-548kg, made $2.56-$2.59/kg. Read more in your LivestockEye.
