There was a buoyant tone throughout the sale at Temuka last Tuesday, with boner cattle continuing to defy usual price drops. Prime Hereford-Friesian steers, 545-715kg, all improved to $3.08-$3.15/kg, with some nice exotic lines also within this price range. Other beef types traded at $2.89-$2.99/kg, with lesser cuts making $2.85-$2.87/kg. Angus, Hereford and Murray Grey heifers 560kg and over sold for $3.00-$3.10/kg.

The store lamb pens featured the strongest yarding for some time. Prices rose $5-$8/head at the top end, with most ewe lines $150-$158 and mixed-sex $144-$173. Top ewes were $224-$263.
