About 800 store cattle met a solid enough market for what they were at Feilding. Two big lines of 525-595kg R3 Hereford-Friesian steers made $2.55-$2.65/kg. R2 Friesian bulls, 375-410kg, were $2.50-$2.55/kg. There was a wide mix of dairy-beef heifers, both standard store option plus quite a few that had been run with the bull. The standard 315-360kg lines were $2.40-$2.60/kg if markings weren’t an issue. Other light heifers of all variations were mainly $2.00-$2.25/kg.
A little under 6000 store lambs mainly had a softer sale. The heavy lambs were the softest, with these top cuts $110-$115 and other good lines $100-$110. Other lines were nearer to steady, as mediums made $90-$100 and light lambs were mainly $75-$80. Some 6-tooth ewes made $150. Read more in your LivestockEye
