Two-year heifers were a bit more mixed, though the better 425-455kg Hereford-Friesian lines gave a good indicator of demand at $2.91-$2.99/kg.
Yearling beef-cross steers, 190-260kg, were all at the flat rate of $780-$865, with a varied of 265-285kg dairy-cross autumn-born yearlings all at $800-$810. One-year beef-cross heifers were often $690-$755.
Autumn-born weaners came in limited numbers, with the highlight a pen of 170kg Simmental-cross bulls at $710, $4.18/kg.
Prime cattle are beginning supported by firming schedules, especially local trade. This was obvious in the 500-560kg Hereford-cross heifers which claimed $3.04-$3.08/kg. A few run of the mill 405-470kg dairy cows met expectations at $1.98-$2.06/kg.
