Last week’s Taranaki cattle fair had good numbers on offer, where steers, in particular, sold well. R2 steers varied, although the top end lifted with good quality types sought after and the majority sold in a range of $2.91-$2.99/kg. R2 heifers lifted at the top end with better types at $2.80-$2.86/kg. R1 steers sold well, with a large portion of beef types and good dairy-cross, 228-279kg, earning $830-$900. R1 heifers struggled a little with the lift in numbers, anything above 225kg typically earned $600-$690.
