A larger contingent of store cattle was yarded at Coalgate last Thursday.

One pen of Hereford-Friesian heifers, 238kg, reached $2.65/kg but dairy types struggled to sell, and a number were passed in or sold below $1/kg.
Over 10% of the prime lambs earned $190-$201 with the next 80% $150-$189. A handful of very heavy ewes attracted bids of $198-$207 while the balance was generally $125-$180. Over 300 capital stock Romney ewe lambs achieved $185 and the remainder $110-$130. Read more in your LivestockEye.
