A small yarding of just over 150 cattle was penned at Taranaki last Wednesday and most traded at softer levels.
R2 Hereford-Friesian steers, 387-416kg, eased to $2.58-$2.60/kg, and the balance, 351-501kg, softened to $2.55-$2.58/kg regardless of breed.
Just 34 prime cattle were on offer with 32 of those boner Friesian cows, 387-547kg, that came back to $1.39-$1.48/kg. Combined Friesian and Friesian-cross lines, 414-479kg, eased to $1.29-$1.30/kg.
