Temuka store cattle 18.03

The line-up was largely dominated by dairy-beef steers and heifers at Temuka last Thursday. Most R2 steers were dairy-beef types that sold in two cuts dependant on condition with good lines generally $2.17-$2.27/kg and medium-good $1.99/kg to $2.14/kg. A few heifers over 400kg managed $2.09-$2.11/kg, but the rest of the section exhibited plenty of variation and largely sold in the range of $1.88/kg to $2.03/kg regardless of breed. In the weaner pens Murray Grey and Hereford-Friesian steers fetched $350-$470 while dairy-beef heifers earned $280-$320. Read more in your LivestockEye.
