Quality cattle were easy to move at last week’s Rongotea sale, although lesser types struggled as reported by Darryl Harwood of NZ Farmers Livestock.
Two-year Friesian steers, 415kg, made $2.29/kg, while Hereford-Friesian bulls, 348-485kg were $2.31/kg, and Hereford-Friesian heifers, 357-500kg made $2.42-$2.53/kg.
R2 Hereford bulls, 485kg, were bought for $2.37/kg, and R2 Angus-cross heifers, 370kg, made better money at $2.58/kg.
