Store cattle throughput dropped to 212 head at Frankton last Wednesday, as vendors offload only out of necessity. R3 Hereford-dairy heifers, 430-466kg, returned $2.44-$2.51/kg, and six South Devon, 432kg, traded at $2.47/kg.
R2 Murray Grey and Murray Grey-cross heifers had varied returns as 320-336kg managed $2.28-$2.38/kg, though 12 at 348kg pushed to $2.59/kg.
Boner cows dominated a very small prime section as vendors continued to shed their empties. Heavier boner cows, 481-559kg, softened to $1.13-$1.17/kg, with $1.00-$1.10/kg common for lighter types.
