Just 115 cattle were presented by New Zealand Farmers Livestock last Wednesday at Frankton. Prime cattle made up close to 70% of the yarding and sold to solid demand. The only 2-year cattle presented were three 433kg Jersey bulls which managed $2.18/kg. Yearling Angus-cross heifers, 311-336kg, earned $2.32-$2.39/kg. Steers held the lion’s share of the prime pens and most traded at steady levels with beef-dairy, 577-658kg, at $2.44-$2.45/kg. Heifers were close on their tails on a $/kg basis and beef-dairy, 463-490kg, returned 2.37-$2.41/kg. Read more in your LivestockEye.
