Rangiuru sale 04.09

It was a bit too wet through Rangiuru’s buyer catchment, stopping further price increases. Some nice 370-460kg Hereford-Friesians were a feature of the 2-year steers, but these were down a little on expectations at $2.97-$3.06/kg. Angus-Hereford and Hereford-cross 2-year heifers, 395-440kg, commanded $2.87-$3.03/kg.

A flat rate of $3.15-$3.33/kg covered the majority of the yearling steers, specifically 200-260kg beef-cross lines.  The lighter-end were mainly bought on a per head basis, regularly around $670-$710. It was very common for 190-220kg Hereford-cross and Hereford-Friesian heifers to make $650-$690, mainly $3.31-$3.44/kg. A few 230-250kg heifers were at $720-$800, $3.13-$3.20/kg. Two lines of 215-220kg Friesian bulls sold for $670-$685, $3.05-$3.19/kg.

Autumn-born weaners were mixed, though some 140kg Hereford-Friesians did make $580.

Lower quality kept the prime section down. Beef-Friesian steers, 505-525kg, were $3.06-$3.10/kg, while 485-500kg Charolais-cross heifers all made $1485-$1520, $2.99-$3.14/kg. Boner cows were mainly light lines, with 335-445kg dairy types all making $1.81-$1.92/kg.
