Kaikohe sale 11.10

While the sale of 450 cattle at Kaikohe on Wednesday lacked the spring feel many vendors are waiting for, there was still a good crowd gathered and a full clearance.

Paddocks still need to dry out, and quality was only moderate, with most lines crossbred.

The best of the 2-year steers made $2.85-$2.95/kg, and lesser quality dairy-cross were sound enough at $2.55-$2.65/kg. Good heifers, including Charolais-cross made up to $2.85-$2.90/kg, though lesser lines fell off that pace.

Results in the 1-year pens were variable, and while better crossbred steers managed $3.20-$3.30/kg, prices dropped away sharply to $2.85-$2.90/kg. Very few heifers hit $3.00/kg, and most bulls traded at $2.85-$3.00/kg.
