Focus was on the 600 in-calf heifers and cows at the Matawhero cattle fair last Tuesday. This included a few hundred head of vetted-in-calf capital stock cows. Good mixed-age vetted-in-calf cows, 475-605kg, typically achieved $1370-$1420, with lighter types at $560-$790. Traditional and exotic run-with-bull cows, 415-500kg, achieved $700-$890, $1.69-$1.78/kg though lighter exotic sold down to $590, $1.57/kg.
