The threefold effect of falling schedules, lack of processing space and continued dry conditions meant older cattle were harder work last Wednesday at RONGOTEA, New Zealand Farmers Livestock agent Darryl Harwood reported.
Two-year Friesian bulls, 490-590kg, earned $2.57-$2.69/kg, and Angus, 485-649kg, $2.74-$2.79/kg. All steers, 335-440kg, traded from $2.18/kg to $2.38/kg.
Weaner Hereford-Friesian steers, 109-163kg, managed $550-$670, and heifers, 106-190kg, $460-$560.
Friesian boner cows, 415-620kg, ranged from $1.45/kg to $1.94/kg.
