There was a sizeable gallery keeping an eye on proceedings at Rangiuru last Tuesday. Dairy-beef types dominated both the store steer and heifer pens. Two-year Hereford-Friesian steers, 391-483kg, earned the most in the range of $2.83/kg to $3.07/kg while heifers, 435-514kg, consistently made $2.83-$2.86/kg. A small line of Angus-cross heifers, 442kg, made $2.92/kg. A very respectable range of $3.29/kg to $3.53/kg covered most of the yearling steers at 210-266kg.
The prime section was very small at 39 head. Five Hereford-Friesian heifers, 568kg, made $2.69/kg while heavy 648kg Limousin cows made $2.25/kg. Read more in your LivestockEye.
