Throughput lifted at Coalgate last Thursday. Most R2 dairy-beef steers made $1.84/kg to $2.00/kg. This was largely matched by the better heifers, but the remainder of the section were generally purchased from $1.56/kg to $1.82/kg. Interest for weaners was limited and a few traditional steers and heifers over 150kg reached $280-$400 to be the best-selling. Ten percent of the ewe yarding were very heavy types that achieved $200-$251 while mid-range ewes managed $120-$195 and lesser types $70-$119. Heavy prime lambs made $170-$215 with the biggest portion of the tally medium types that mostly ranged from $110-$167. Read more in your LivestockEye.
