Prime and two-year steers were in very good order, with weights mostly in excess of 460kg. Hereford-Friesian and Hereford-cross, 476-521kg, lifted to $3.03-$3.11/kg, while most other lines in the section sold for $2.88-$2.95/kg.
Heifer results were equally as pleasing and Hereford-Friesian, 404-470kg, sold to $2.91-$2.97/kg.
Persistent bidding in the yearling steer pens meant vendors were well rewarded. Hereford-Friesian, 286-316kg, reached $3.42-$3.50/kg, while 270kg earned $3.70/kg. Heavier lines across most breeds traded at $2.90-$2.98/kg for 340-430kg, while Hereford-Friesian within that range made $3.02-$3.11/kg.
The strength continued into the heifer pens, where 260-277kg Hereford-Friesian firmed to $3.10-$3.18/kg, with Hereford-cross, 233-251kg, also improving to $2.94-$3.00/kg.
