R2 Hereford-Friesian steers, 392-490kg, traded on a firm market at $2.86-$2.95/kg, with 407-432kg Angus and Angus-Hereford at similar levels. Older heifers were mainly autumn-born lines and Hereford-Friesian, 289kg, returned $930, $3.22/kg, while most R1 heifers were of same breeding and sold for $780-$790 on a lifting market.

Small lines of all breeds were found in the R1 steer pens and there was plenty of interest for all. Beef and beef-cross, 253-282kg, sold for $820-$920, $3.21-$3.30/kg, while seven Hereford-Friesian, 152kg, managed $700.

Two lines of Hereford-cross cows, run with a Hereford bull though lighter in weight sold for $970-$1240, with the top line selling up to $2.78/kg.

Prime prices lifted and the heaviest steers at 700kg plus made a premium of $3.06-$3.08/kg over 542-604kg Hereford-Friesian, $2.93-$2.96/kg. One line of four Charolais heifers, 592kg, made steer money at $3.04/kg.
