There was a low number of cattle at Taranaki last week, as is typical for this time of year. R2 steers were limited although these sold well, with heifers mixed and most sold for $2.42-$2.51/kg.
The R1 pens were mostly Hereford-Friesian heifers, 167-199kg, which sold for $455-$530, $2.66-$2.72/kg, while 231kg made $560, $2.42/kg. Mixed-age Friesian cows sold for $1.75-$1.89/kg, while Hereford were slightly above this at $2.05/kg.
