There was a good yarding of 3500 sheep at Te Kuiti last Wednesday. The store lamb market performed well with a good bench of buyers present. Top male lambs realised $151-$155 with the next cut around $147.
There were 800 cattle penned on Friday and first up was R3 beef bred steers, 545-600kg, which fetched $2.68-$2.75/kg. Most of the better R2 steers sold at $2.65-$2.70/kg, and a good line-up of Angus steers were secured for $2.84/kg. Please note this sale was still going at the time of writing.
