Houhora in the far north kicked off the 2021 beef weaner fair season last Thursday, and the fair was well-supported by local buyers, PGG Wrightson agent Dean May reported. A total tally of 250 head featured autumn-born R1 exotic cattle. Top South Devon-cross steers made $875 and second cut $825. Most of the top cuts of steers traded at $900-$1000 and medium types, $780-$920. Heifers were mainly medium types of exotic, South Devon-cross and Simmental-cross and found values at $650-$800. This fair is one of just two held at Houhora each year with a larger cattle fair calendared in spring.
