Cattle quality was good at Stortford Lodge last Wednesday, though lambs varied.
The lamb sale was split, with most males holding value, but ewe lambs came back. Top ewe lambs made $124-$145, while mixed sex ranged from $88 to $142.50. Breeding ewe prices were subdued and four-six tooth Romney, scanned 160%, made $182.50, and two-tooths, run-with-ram, $125-$129.
The cattle sale was only moderate but had good quality in the pens, which attracted outside buyers. R2 Simmental-cross steers, 444kg, made $2.67/kg, though 389-447kg Angus & Angus-Hereford were discounted to $2.67-$2.74/kg. R2 Friesian bulls, 478kg, held at $2.36-$2.45/kg.
Standout lines of weaners included Angus steers, 277kg, $910, and Angus & Angus-Hereford heifers, 278kg, $800.
