Last Wednesday’s Taranaki cattle sale penned just 238 cattle, although demand remained on par with the previous sale. A special entry of hill country three-year-old steers and heifers sold well, with Charolais heifers, 482kg, at $3.01/kg and Hereford-Friesian steers, 489-527kg, were sought after to make $3.23-$3.27/kg. Two-year cattle varied with quality, although the best of the heifers were Angus, 300kg, which fetched $3.03/kg.
