Medium R2 steers traded at $2.80-$2.92/kg, though small numbers of better types managed to sell to $2.90-$3.02/kg. Beef-cross and Friesian bulls earned $2.75/kg, while good demand for beef-cross heifers meant these firmed to $2.80-$2.90/kg.
R1 steers sold at similar levels to the previous week, while the heifer pens offered up a few feature lines of beef-Friesian, which met a keen bench and made $900-$920, $3.05-$3.10/kg. Bulls in this age group were mixed and beef-cross mainly traded at $3.10-$3.20/kg, though other off-bred lines dropped to $2.85/kg.
The cow market continued its strong run with empty lines selling up to $2.20/kg, and a line of heavy, vetted-in-calf dairy cows, $2.58/kg.
