Prime numbers were limited to local trade heifers, 441-478kg, at $2.72-$2.82/kg, with finished 2-year steers, 500-582kg, trading at $2.70-$2.78/kg. Boner cows, 494-533kg, reached $1.78/kg.

Quality store cattle were chased as good grass covers and buyers restocking increased competition. The best of the R2 steers, 400kg, made $2.97/kg, with a lesser line, 410kg, returning $2.80/kg, while 15-month, 325-336kg, fetched $2.98-$3.15/kg.

The R1 pens mainly consisted of dairy-cross lines, and steers, 236-237kg, made $555-$740, and 103-109kg, $485-$575. Heifers only featured in the R1 pens, where small off-type crossbred, 96-230kg, sold for $455-$480.
