Cull cow volume leaped to 70 head at Feilding last Monday. Nearly all were Friesian and purchased for $1.35-$1.46/kg. The quality at the top end of the lambs was impressive and very heavy pens fetched $170-$187. Most of the offering was heavy lines at $141-$169 while medium-good made $111-$136. Good ewes were the highest priced at $135-$155. Medium-good ewes managed $117-$122.50 while light and medium pens ranged from $70 to $96. In the autumn-calf section Friesian bulls started strong at $170-$200 but fell away to $100-$120. Good Hereford-Friesian bulls made $200-$260 while heifers earned $170-$205.
