A little under 600 weaners were put up for offer, more than half of which were either Simmental-cross bulls or heifers. There was a big drop-back on this time last year on the bulls. Heavier exotics, 285-345kg, were the strongest at $3.40-$3.59/kg, whereas 220-285kg were more like $3.11-$3.32/kg. The heifers managed to hold a little steadier. Exotics, 220-305kg, consistently made $2.82-$3.00/kg, but only one line of 230kg Angus-Hereford’s went any higher at $3.13/kg, $725. Other traditional heifers sold to similar levels as the exotics. The steers were a small and varied mix, with 220-250kg Angus-Hereford easily the strongest at $3.53-$3.65/kg, $780-$920.
