Despite the proximity to winter, store market results were pleasing at Rangiuru on Tuesday. One line of 281kg R2 steers hit $3.08/kg, replicating prices briefly hit in early April. Double the number of prime and boner cattle were penned, with a significant lift in boner cow entries. A few purebred Hereford bulls made $3.00/kg, with other prime bulls achieving $2.62-$2.81/kg.
Sheep volume also improved on last week’s sale with 419 sold. Prices for prime lambs dropped slightly across all classes, with the best price at $168.
