Prices reflected solid demand for the better types, and a good sized offering of R3 heifers consisted of mainly beef and beef-cross lines, which were well sought after. Good weighted Angus and Hereford cross sold for $2.67-$2.75/kg, with lighter types earning $2.49-$2.67/kg. Quality was mixed in the R2 steer pens, which varied cents-per-kilogram prices, while 4 Hereford bulls, 444kg, headed out to the dairy herds at $3.40/kg.
Cull cow numbers continue to trickle in each week, and prices were firm, with Hereford trading at $1.94-$2.08/kg, while Murray Grey, 446-511kg, returned $1.89-$1.98/kg. A smaller Friesian line up mainly traded at $1.51-$1.63/kg.
