A nice round figure of 100 cattle were yarded at Taranaki on Wednesday, with no lines in double figures.
Reading Time: < 1 minute

R2 beef-Friesian steers, 458-467kg, made solid returns at $3.06-$3.12/kg, while a lighter line of two heifers, 305kg, pushed the $3.00/kg mark. Heavier Angus and Hereford-Friesian, 390-410kg, were steady at $2.77-$2.82/kg.

Two lines of R1 beef-dairy steers made $655-$675 and most of the heifers, $645-$700. A handful of autumn-born lines were also offered and Angus-Friesian steers, 165kg, fetched $675, with Charolais-cross heifers of same weight making exactly the same money.

Prime numbers were low but heifers and steers, 613-630kg, managed $2.84-$2.87/kg, and a line of Friesian cows, 538kg, $2.03/kg.
