A smaller yarding of 380 cattle at Kaikohe on Wednesday made the auctioneers job easier, though the dry conditions are bringing caution to the market. Prices were mainly on par with the previous sale though, PGG Wrightson agent Vaughan Vujcich reported.
R2 steers were mainly lesser cattle and sold for $2.85-$2.90/kg, while Kiwi-cross were discounted to $2.30-$2.40/kg.
The weaner pens featured two lines of well-bred bulls, with Stabiliser-cross and Hereford making $800-$850, $3.52-$3.98/kg.
Boner cows mainly traded at $1.65-$1.75/kg.
