Cattle demand eased off last Tuesday at Rangiuru. Most 2-year steers were Hereford-Friesian or Hereford-dairy, 330-535kg, that traded from $2.79/kg to $2.93/kg. Yearling quality was a mixed bag, and this was reflected in the prices posted. The best steers were Hereford-Jersey, 301kg, that made $1035, $3.44/kg. Heifers were nearly all under 300kg with the top cut Hereford-Friesian, 234-297kg, at $2.81/kg to $3.10/kg.
Prime hoggets made $110-$170 and ewes, $101-$127. Two pens of ewes with lambs-at-foot earned $85 and $98 all counted. Read more in your LivestockEye.
