A packed yarding of steers and heifers eased across the board. Two vendors offered up 130 quality Angus cows with calves-at-foot. These were mainly 3 to 7-year olds, averaging $1850 per cow. Two-year steers came back 15-20c/kg. Heavy tradition steers were $3/kg or slighter stronger, with lighter cuts nearer to $3.20/kg. The Hereford-Friesian steers were usually $2.70-$2.85/kg at all weights. Two-year heifers weakened to $2.40-$2.60/kg for dairy-cross breeds. Results were mixed on the yearling steers, but straight-beef lines centred on $3.20/kg, with the dairy-beef lines around $2.95/kg. A selection of 3300 store lamb came back another step, though weights were lower than most other weeks. Good lambs made $110-$125, with the mid-range at $90-$105. Lighter lambs were $60-$80.
