R2 cattle were in very short supply. Two lines of Charolais were quality, seeing bidding climb to $2.91/kg for the 445kg steers and $2.63/kg for the 400kg heifers. Otherwise some 320-460kg beef steers were $2.72-$2.78/kg, while light 245-275kg Angus heifers made $740-$805, $2.93-$3.02/kg.
R1 Angus steers, 220-265kg, were $810-$880, dropping to $700-$730 for other 180-210kg beef types. Some 140-150kg Angus-cross did well enough considering their size at $600-$650. Two small lines of 250-265kg Angus R2 heifers were the strongest of these, making $770-$825. Some large lines of 175-195kg Hereford-Friesians were solid too at $530-$645.
Around a hundred mixed-aged cows, in-calf and dry, were a feature of the sale. Some 395-515kg VIC MA Angus cows received reasonable interest at $2.28-$2.30/kg, but other 470-505kg VIC and RWB beef cows were mainly $1.93-$2.08/kg. Anything 350-415kg, dry or in-calf, were $1.34-$1.45/kg.
