In the R2 steers the 305-465kg Angus and Angus-cross were $3.15-$3.30/kg, while 345-450kg Charolais-cross were $3.20-$3.25/kg. R2 Hereford-Friesian steers, 390-455kg, were at $2.90-$3.05/kg.

Barely any weaners had been sold at the time of writing.
A yarding of 14,000 store lambs were met with the same enthusiasm as the week prior. The winners on the day were the heavier lambs which generally strengthened, but this was balanced out by a small decrease through the medium and lesser types.
A large portion of the lambs were good-to-heavy cryptorchids and these all sold into the $118-$128 range. This was a clear divide on the mediums which made $91-$105, though there was a small grey patch between these cuts which fetched $106-$116. Ewes lambs were sold in to distinct sections too, as the good-to-heavy lines made $103.50-$116, while the core of the medium-to-good lines were $96-$107.50. Heavy mixed sex lambs were $115.50-$123, whereas the good-to-mediums were usually $96.50-$112.50.
Only 500 odd ewes were put sold. Medium 4-year and older ewes were $120-$130.50, though a good 5-year line did make $144. The lighter-end was $82-$108.
