Plenty of confidence was evident in the store lamb market at Canterbury Park last Tuesday, with prices improving $5-$10 per head for most types, including big lines. In contrast most prime cattle pens held just one or two, with the biggest pen only five head. Steers contributed the biggest section and good beef and beef-cross lines over 600kg earned $2.27-$2.37/kg, while 525-575kg improved 12c/kg to average $2.24/kg. A small number of Angus-Hereford heifers, 520-560kg, managed $2.16-$2.26/kg, but most of the heifer trading was at the $2.00-$2.11/kg level.
