A small yarding of just over 200 head was offered at Taranaki last Wednesday. R3 and three-year plus steers and bulls had good interest and sold at $2.89-$2.90/kg. Heavier R2 steers strengthened with 368-415kg able to reach $2.80-$2.89/kg, while the balance sold over a wide range according to quality. R1 cattle continue to make up the bulk of the yardings with some better-quality lines offered. Hereford-Friesian steers, 191-221kg, included a line of 10 owner-bred cattle, and traded from $3.46/kg to $3.57/kg. Read more in your LivestockEye.
