Around 1600 beef weaners were offered at Feilding last Thursday, where the auction ran with relative ease. Moderate numbers of exotic steers were mixed in quality, which affected prices, however a large consignment of 190-240kg Saler-cross made $2.80-$2.90/kg.
Two big pens of 255-300kg Angus bulls were $2.40/kg to $2.55/kg, while the balance had mixed results.
Interest dipped off on the heifers, though mid-range traditional types still sold well enough, while anything below 170kg was mostly $285-$330. Exotic heifers had mixed returns, with $2.25/kg to $2.40/kg the middle-ground.
