An enthusiastic bench of buyers combined with good weather helped to lift the market at last week’s Pukekohe sale. Prime cattle and boner cows sold especially well, with the best heifers making $2.70-$2.80/kg. Quality weaner steers sold to keen interest, with medium Angus steers making $755, $4.40/kg, and crossbred steers, $550-$610, $3.72-$4.17/kg. Eighteen-month cattle were more of a struggle, particularly for off-types and sold in a wide range of $2.27-$2.77/kg.
