Feilding prime sale 10.09

Avatar photo
A lift in cattle numbers at Feilding on Monday came about from the increased supply of boner cows. Some were in-calf and at 492-553kg they sold for $2.31-$2.38/kg, while similar weights of empty Friesian earned $2.22-$2.31/kg. A handful of small lines bucked that trend and made $2.35-$2.40/kg. A consignment of Angus cows, 360kg, sold for $2.22/kg.

Prices for heavy lambs eased $5-$8, though a small medium yarding held value. A big line of 445 mixed sex made $205 and most mixed sex and male lambs returned $180-$225.

One buyer dominated a consistent ewe market and good and very good ewes made $145-$156, covering most of those penned.

Good interest on all calves meant solid returns for the nearly 300 head. Friesian bulls made $100-$180 and Angus-cross, $130-$175, but the pick was Hereford-Friesian at $200-$250. Two Speckle Park heifers sold to $290, while Hereford-Friesian made $100-$200 and Angus-cross, $90-$175.
