There was plenty of traditional lines at the Coalgate high country calf sale last Thursday. Angus steers over 220kg earned $730-$920 and varied from $2.94/kg to $3.29/kg while 175-218kg traded at $550-$695, $3.11-$3.28/kg. Angus-Hereford returned similar money, although their highest-priced was 254kg and $835. Charolais-cross, 188-300kg, sold for $575-$930, $2.82/kg to $3.10/kg. In contrast to the steer pens Charolais-cross typically earned more per kilogram than the Angus amongst the heifers. Charolais-cross, 200-272kg, were typically $540-$710, $2.61-$2.81/kg while Angus, 205-254kg, made $465-$565, $2.19-$2.29/kg. There was good competition in all sheep classes. Ewes had a high proportion of very heavy in the $206-$227 range with the balance largely $90-$198. Read more in your LivestockEye.
