Rangiuru cattle and sheep 24.11

Nearly 900 cattle were yarded at Rangiuru last Tuesday. Just 70 were in the prime pens and 760kg Hereford-Friesian steers were the highlight at $2.92-$2.95/kg. The better 2-year dairy-beef steers earned $2.65-$2.75/kg before lesser pens typically fetched $2.39-$2.49/kg. The top heifers often made similar money and included 390-472kg Hereford-Friesian that returned $2.59-$2.69/kg. Several pens of Hereford-Friesian cows with calves-at-foot attracted spirited bidding. They were split into pens based on the sex of their calves, and those with steers fetched $1480 per unit, while heifer calves were $1350. Read more in your LivestockEye.
