90 cows were the main feature of a winter cattle yarding at Stortford Lodge last Wednesday. Exotic-cross cows, 510-543kg, made $1235-$1250, $2.30-$2.42/kg and the third cut of Angus and Angus-Hereford, 463kg, reached $1035, $2.23/kg. Just over 1000 breeding ewes were penned though vendors offered up mainly low percentage lines or medium to good types. Top price was $191 for small lines of mixed-age and most sold for $158-$187. A very good line of 14 ewes with blackface lambs reached $125 all counted. Store lamb volume dwindled to 3200 and males outnumbered ewe lambs. The market was steady to firm across most classes.
