The steer market was resilient at Canterbury Park last Tuesday, helped by a good quality line-up. High-yielding dairy-beef over 600kg were $2.50/kg to $2.66/kg. Very little differentiated the top beef heifers from the dairy-beef and nearly all traded from $2.33/kg to $2.48/kg. The first significant run of both store and prime new season lambs were entered and store lambs fetched $60-$87 while prime were $131-$180. Interest held up for prime hoggets and they traded at $130-$209. A decent number of the mixed-age ewes earned $180-$217 and the balance made $120-$179. Read more in your LivestockEye.
