Matawhero cattle fair 16.01

Regular rainfall through the East Coast meant there was very little on offer at the Matawhero cattle fair. Everything was well supported though given the varied quality and small pens.

Good quality lines with decent numbers were hot property. This was quite obvious through the yearling steers where some, 275-325kg, Angus's sold at $3.69-$3.71/kg. Strong interest was also clear through the weaners and cows & calves. Hereford-Friesian weaner heifers, 115-140kg, made an impressive $525-$560, with 100kg Friesian bull calves not far behind at $520. The two larger lines of beef cows & calves made $1760-$1880.

It was a mixed affair through other classes and age-groups. Some 470-520kg, two-year steers did well at $3.34-$3.38/kg, while two-year Angus bulls, 325-580kg, were at $2.59-$2.69/kg. The majority of the 295-365kg yearling heifers made $2.87-$3.01/kg.
