It was a busy day at Rangiuru last Tuesday, with a good-sized yarding of cattle and over 800 sheep. Top prime steers earned $3.35/kg to $3.53/kg, while the bulk of the section were Hereford-Friesian, 525-561kg, $3.16-$3.24/kg. Heifers improved on the previous week with all lines $3.03/kg to $3.22/kg.

Two-year steer numbers were low and Angus-Friesian and Hereford-Friesian, 368-465kg, traded for $3.27-$3.31/kg, and a larger heifer entry, $3.18-$3.23/kg. Yearling cattle varied in quality; most were Hereford-Friesian steers with better lines up to $3.82/kg, and $3.30/kg to $3.59/kg typical. Weaner prices couldn’t top the previous week’s results, though a few lines came close at $560-$590.
