Most of the cattle at Feilding last Monday were in-calf boner cows. They typically weighed 479-603kg and traded at $1.54-$1.64/kg, a 10c/kg premium over equivalent empty lines that were commonly $1.41-$1.53/kg. The best prices of the day were reserved for bulls though, particularly a pen of 639kg beef-cross that fetched $2.88/kg. A few Friesian-cross and Speckle Park, 630-685kg, came close to this mark at $2.74-$2.76/kg. A small calf yarding sold on a better market to the previous sale. Speckle Park bulls were the highest priced at $170-$190 while Hereford-Friesian made $130-$185. Read more in your LivestockEye.
