Many steers were Hereford-Friesian and along with other dairy-beef breeds earned $2.29-$2.39/kg for those over 500kg. Of the 40 bulls offered, 22 were Angus. Two-thirds were good yielding 608-640kg that made $2.62/kg, but others were heavy ex-sires and made similar money. Read more in your LivestockEye.
