An air of nervousness was felt in the rostrum at Taranaki on Wednesday as paddocks dry out.
R2 and prime steers made very similar values, and Hereford-Friesian, 518-542kg, earned $2.89-$2.93/kg. Ex-service Angus bulls eased as 642-687kg made $2.83-$2.85/kg, while two Hereford, 487kg, were returned to the herds at $1600.
$3.00/kg was hard to find in the R1 pens as just one line of Hereford-Friesian steers, 444kg, hit it. A small line of 357kg Angus heifers took top honours in their section at $2.72/kg.
