Wellsford kicked of the dairy beef weaner fairs last Wednesday with a total yarding of 909 steers and bulls. Steers were well sought though bulls were harder work. Autumn-born Simmental-Friesian steers, 265kg, sold well at $810 while 185-212kg Friesian bulls traded at a softer $520-$580. Spring weaners filled 50% of the pens. Hereford-dairy, 119-128kg, fetched $440-$470 and 114-209kg Murray Grey-Friesian were $470-$670. Friesian bulls were discounted and most 111-166kg eased to $300-$400. Read more in your LivestockEye.
