A smaller tally of cattle was present at Feilding last Monday, with the total below 200 head. Small price rises featured across several categories, though steers and straight-beef heifers were rare. Most prime cows sold on a steady market at $1.67-$1.75/kg. In-calf cow prices did not attract much of a premium, generally aligning with their empty contemporaries.
The sheep section featured an extra 2000 lambs on offer over the previous week. Sellers were awarded a rise of $6 per head to a $167 median price. The main range for the good prime lambs was $163-$177, and $144.50-$158 for the next cut down. Top end ewes made $162-$171.50, and low end $100-$113.
