Cattle sale results were more mixed for a small offering of 90 head.
Lambs prices lifted $5-$10, and a new record for the year was set when seven males sold for $188. Heavy types traded at $148-$188, and medium, $121-$153, while store types lambs returned $73-$131.
Ewe numbers reduced as scanning is well through but buyer numbers increased, and prices firmed $2-$4. The bulk of the ewes were medium types at $81-$119, while a good sized offering of scanned dry 2-tooths made $84-$120.
Steers were again noted for their absence in the rostrum, and just one heavy Hereford bull sold for $2081, $2.42/kg.
Cows made up most of the sale, and results were mixed, with medium and lighter dairy lines softening to $1.87-$1.91/kg, though heavy types firmed to $1.97/kg. Beef cows traded at steady levels of $1.97-$2.11/kg.
Heifer numbers were limited, and prices reflected the mixed offering put forward. High yielding beef-Friesian, and Friesian-cross, made $2.71-$2.77/kg, though most were well off that pace.
