Older bulls again slotted into the Feilding dairy-beef weaner fair last Thursday. The 2-year Friesian lines were mainly from the South Island with 375-385kg the strongest at $3.35-$3.40/kg. Yearling bulls eased and mainly circled $3/kg at all weights. A line of 300kg Hereford-Friesian sold particularly well though at $3.35/kg. Autumn-born weaner Friesian bulls, 175-210kg, made $655-$700. Spring weaner Friesian bulls jumped $50-$60 – the 125-130kg cuts averaged $550 while 100-110kg were $450-$480. A few Hereford-Friesian pens weighed 125kg and made $540-$570. Read more in your LivestockEye.
