Heavier cattle in forward condition sold strongly at Tuakau last Thursday, but prices for lighter, younger stock eased slightly, Carrfields Livestock agent Karl Chitham reported.

The medium-sized yarding included Hereford-Friesian steers at 320kg, which sold at $1130, with 307kg Shorthorn making $1045, and 111kg Hereford-Friesian, $655. In the heifer section, 404kg Hereford-Friesian traded at $3.23/kg, $1305, with a 348kg pen fetching $1115.

The market at Wednesday’s prime sale was firm. The bulk of the heavy steers sold at $3.08-$3.19/kg and mediums made $3.04-$3.12/kg. Heifers sold at similar values to the previous week, with most heavy beef-types fetching $3.10-$3.18/kg and light-mediums, $3.00-$3.10/kg.
