Most of the action at a big store cattle sale at Canterbury Park last Wednesday was in the yearling pens. Half of the steer entries were Hereford-Friesian where the top cut, 360-390kg, earned $2.67-$2.73/kg while second cuts over 300kg were typically $2.56-$2.66/kg. Just one pen of heifers exceeded $3/kg, 243kg Speckle Park that fetched $3.09/kg. Hereford-Friesian often made as much as equivalent steers such as 350-375kg that were priced at $2.55-$2.67/kg.
