Things were quiet in the cattle section at Canterbury Park last Tuesday, as vendors resist selling until schedules improve. Steer prices were generally steady for better quality types, usually between $2.59/kg and $2.74/kg. Well-conditioned, quality heifers lifted and Simmental-cross, 470kg, topped this category at $2.65/kg. Boner heifers, 375-415kg, softened to $1.81-$1.82/kg.
Sheep numbers were down in all categories. Store lambs saw the largest movement, where heavier lambs eased a little, but medium and lighter lines recovered around $3-$4/hd. Both prime lambs and prime ewes were similar to the week prior.
