A yarding of 1400 steers and 50 bulls at Feilding last Wednesday met a stronger market on day one of the weaner fairs. The main section was the traditional steers which consistently traded at $3.40-$3.65/kg for the 190-295kg weight range. Three 260-285kg pens punched above the rest though at $1005-$1075, $3.80-$4.00/kg. Other steers were mainly Charolais-cross which made $3.30-$3.50/kg at 200-280kg. A little more than 700 heifers lifted slightly on day two last Thursday. About half were Charolais-cross, 250-300kg, which made $2.70-$2.85/kg, followed by $2.55-$2.75/kg for 190-235kg. All 190-285kg traditional heifers sold for $2.55-$2.75/kg as well. Read more in your LivestockEye.
