Medium prime beef heifers varied across $2.99-$3.08/kg, though a single 555kg Angus pen gave the steers a run for their money at $3.16/kg.
Some 430-525kg boner cows sold to an unchanged $2.07-$2.11/kg.
Stability carried into the 2-year offering. Lines of note were some 365-430kg Hereford-Friesian steers at $3.08-$3.16/kg and 360kg Hereford-Friesian heifers which were $3.07-$3.10.
One-year steers at least matched what was made a week ago. They were mainly sold in two cuts; 265-310kg Hereford-Friesian and traditional pens were $3.26-$3.41/kg, $910-$985, whereas 295-345kg beef-cross lines sold at $2.84-$2.96/kg, $880-$980. Two pens of heavy beef-Friesians heifers were a highlight, topping nearly all of the steers at $1060-$1090, $3.05-$3.22/kg. Otherwise 185-245kg Angus and Hereford-Friesian heifers were around the $3.24-$3.49/kg level. A large selection of Friesian bulls, 255-285kg, were bought at $850-$905, $3.16-$3.32/kg.
Quality made all the difference in the autumn-born weaners. Good 100-110kg Hereford-Friesian bulls were $570-$630, while 155-180kg steers made $705-$725. Off-type bulls and heifers were usually $400-$500.
