A very large line-up of mainly traditional 2-year bulls sold at very solid prices. The majority were 430-580kg, selling at $3.17-$3.23/kg, though a line of 500kg Herefords did make $3.40/kg, $1700.
Three lines 195-215kg traditional steers were $760-$800, $3.71-$3.92/kg, while 320kg Angus and Hereford-Friesians were $1040-$1060, $3.25-$3.31/kg. Results were otherwise very mixed.
The nearly 500 yearling heifers appeared a few too many. There were some solid results within this section though. Purebred Angus's, 230-260kg, presented in big lines were $790-$860, $3.31-$3.43/kg, while some 250-265kg Hereford's sold very well at $900-$1000, $3.60-$3.77/kg. Everything else was mainly 180-230kg beef-cross types which could only fetch $2.96-$3.26/kg or sometimes less.
A few 1-year Angus-cross bulls, 195-255kg, ended the day’s proceedings on a strong note, making $3.67-$3.90/kg. Two big pens of 180-220kg Friesian bulls were bought on per head budgets at $690-$710.
