The cattle sale at Canterbury Park on Tuesday was all about prime steers, with these making up 70% of the yarding and the majority at 600kg plus. Most fell in a $2.90-$3.00/kg range for the better yielding types, while five Angus-Hereford, 524kg, made $3.20/kg. Second cuts, including Angus, 562-590kg, returned $2.75-$2.85/kg.
Store volume was low and Angus & Angus-Hereford steers, 441kg, made $3.29/kg, while two-year Hereford-Friesian heifers, 411-420kg, earned $2.64-$2.73/kg.
Store lambs made up the bulk of the sheep section, though most were very light types at 20kg and below. Demand was solid across all types.
Most of the prime lambs were third cuts and sold on a softer market for $115-$137, with a small entry of top cuts making $141-$188. Just shy of 600 ewes were offered and the $200 mark was still on the table, though only 15 ventured to $216-$224. Medium-good ewes sold for $146-$162, while adult rams earned $115-$129.
