Buyers were mostly local at Rangiuru last Tuesday. Two-thirds of the 2-year steers were Hereford-Friesian, 394-455kg, that made $2.60-$2.68/kg. A good number of Angus heifers, 345kg, made $2.78/kg, but 436kg Limousin traded for $3.05/kg. This was eclipsed by Hereford bulls, 326-385kg, that made $3.12/kg to $3.37/kg. Most prime steers were dairy-beef over 575kg with plenty of variation in price. Quality was rewarded with $2.90-$2.91/kg paid for the top pens. Boner cattle sold to healthy competition and one pen of Friesian & Friesian-cross, 500kg, made $2.70/kg. Read more in your LivestockEye.
