Last Wednesday’s Kaikohe sale had around 400 head, PGG Wrightson agent Vaughan Vujcich reported. There were some good quality cattle on offer which lifted the market. Two-year dairy-beef steers strengthened with the top end able to achieve $3.00-$3.12/kg, while beef-cross bulls were bought for $2.60/kg. One-year cattle also had more interest this week and dairy-beef heifers sold around the $3.00/kg mark and steers above this.
