Very few 2-year cattle were offered at Temuka last Thursday and the sale moved quickly into the yearling pens. A consignment of 60 Angus steers, 325-353kg, met keen interest and mostly sold for $2.95-$3.01/kg. Other Angus were lighter at 202-232kg but earned $3.10-$3.22/kg. Many of the remaining pens were Angus-cross or Angus-Friesian, 229-349kg, that made $2.20-$2.31/kg while Hereford-Friesian, 311-353kg, traded at $2.54-$2.62/kg. Nearly 50 yearling Hereford heifers, 246-301kg, sold from $2.41/kg to $2.59/kg. Read more in your LivestockEye.
