A line of R2 Friesian steers, 505kg, made $2.48/kg, but bulls proved to be harder work and all breeds traded at $2.24-$2.36/kg for 360-460kg.
A bigger yarding of heifers offered up more range and some quality lines were penned. The top Hereford-Friesian line sold to $3.03/kg, but in general most of the mainly beef-cross line-up traded at $2.45-$2.56/kg. Empty Friesian heifers, 345-465kg, sold for $2.02-$2.54/kg.
Good Hereford-Friesian R1 steers, 243kg, managed $860, with the balance of the section beef-cross and exotic lines, 270-275kg, which traded at $750-$780. Exotic bulls had good weight at 322kg and sold for $840.
The R1 heifer pens reflected the older heifer section. Red Devon, 295kg, and Charolais-cross, 310kg, were a highlight, selling for $875 and $995 respectively, while Hereford-Friesian, 205-232kg, ranged from $670 to $760. Belted Galloway, 167-205kg, were good shopping at $510-$590.
That left just the weaners and calves though buyers were selective through these pens. Weaner steers traded at $450-$460, but better bred heifers made $530-$550. A bigger bull section had Hereford-Friesian, 116-125kg, earning $480-$490 and White Galloway, 100-111kg, $450.
Big Friesian bull calves made $150-$230 and smaller types, $80-$140. The top Hereford-Friesian reached $150-$230 and medium, $100-$140, while Angus-cross sold for $135-$145. In the heifer pens Hereford-Friesian sold to $100-$155 and Angus-cross and White Galloway, $100-$155.
Ewes with lambs-at-foot made $101 all counted, and mixed sex lambs, $125-$170.
