A short week resulted in a small yarding of cattle last week at Canterbury Park with just five store cattle sold. Prime steers were mostly Charolais and Angus-cross with the top end steady, while the balance was mostly $2.60-$2.61/kg. Top prime heifers traded similarly at $2.61-$2.63/kg.
Sheep numbers were also low, and a lighter average weight meant the overall market was softer. There was a good number of half-bred lambs on offer which mostly sold for $110-$129. Prime lamb numbers were limited although prices strengthened following lifting schedules.
