The Temuka sale was back in the usual Monday slot last week. Fine wool types were the main feature of the store hogget pens and the heaviest achieved $155-$175. Results were mixed in the remaining pens and they made $67-$130. The top prime hoggets earned $190-$201 while most others fetched $140-$185.

Beef steers and heifers met a difficult market. Much of the yarding was dairy-beef with $2.45-$2.55/kg typical of those over 500kg. In contrast big boner heifers sold above expectations at $2.15/kg to $2.35/kg while cows held value. Read more in your LivestockEye.
