Buyers had the opportunity to purchase good numbers of weaned calves at Temuka last Thursday. Nearly 1900 calves attended but prices dropped. Most dairy-beef steers were priced at $370-$440 and heifers $290-$420. In the bull pens Fleckvieh, 131-133kg, were some of the highest priced at $435-$450. They were only joined at this level by a few Speckle Park and Hereford-Friesian with prices of $330-$430 typical for most lines of dairy-beef. Nearly 700 Friesian bulls ranged from $160 to $435.
