There was just a small volume of mixed-quality cattle at the Matawhero cattle fair last Tuesday. Despite the uncertainty of the coming weeks, or perhaps because of it, nearly everything was able to find homes and good lines of cattle sold accordingly. R3 Angus steers, 465-510kg, made $2.59/kg, while same breed bulls, 530kg, made $2.36/kg and exotic heifers, 345kg, $1.94/kg. The bulk of the yarding was R2 heifers where the majority sold in a range of $2.06-$2.15/kg, with Hereford, 335kg, able to achieve $2.39/kg.
Weaner Angus and Angus-Hereford steers and bulls fetched $600-$650 for those at 260-265kg, while lighter steers earned $490 and exotic bulls, $370.
