A moderate yarding of store cattle had something for everyone at Rangiuru last Tuesday. A sizable consignment of capital stock beef and beef-cross cows that were 497-652kg and had been run with an Angus bull managed to sell for $2.31-$2.41/kg. The bulk of the R2 steers were either Angus, Angus-cross, or Hereford-Friesian, 370-429kg, and consistently earned $2.95-$3.05/kg. Heifers sold well relative to quality and condition and Angus-cross, 392kg, topped the section at $3.00/kg. R1 Angus-cross steers earned $630-$770 while Hereford-Friesian were $650-$740. Angus-Hereford heifers, 242-285kg, made solid returns at $750-$870 while Angus, 230kg, returned $710. Sheep volume was low, and most were prime lambs that earned $168-$175.
