A decent sized crowd made the trip to Rangiuru last Tuesday for a modest winter sale. Prime cattle continued to perform well with Angus steers, 707kg, head of the pack at $2.97/kg, although they were outsold by a few ex-sire Charolais bulls sold in the store pens that made $3.22/kg.
In the store section the biggest group was R2 heifers that largely featured a mixture of Hereford and Hereford-cross types, 372-427kg, that earned $2.51-$2.61/kg.
Lambs were generally $89-$140, while the heaviest ewes made $122. Read more in your LivestockEye.
