More usual numbers of prime cattle turned out at Rangiuru last Tuesday after the previous week’s record low tally. There was a hint of a lift through the boner cow market with the lion’s share Friesian and Friesian-cross in the 435-515kg range that consistently made $1.21-$1.31/kg.
In contrast the store section couldn’t even manage 20% of the usual headcount. Five pens of R2 steers provided variable results, with the bulk Hereford-Friesian, 402-413kg, that made $2.66-$2.67/kg.
Rangiuru cattle and sheep 3.03
R2 beef-dairy steers, 395-400kg, made $2.45/kg
Prime Hereford-dairy steers, 588kg, returned $2.50/kg
Boner Friesian cows, 530-587kg, improved to $1.42-$1.44/kg
