Last week’s cattle fair at Taranaki had great results all round, with a quality mainly dairy-beef cattle offering well rewarded.
The majority of R3 steers sold in a fairly tight band of $2.94-$3.06/kg, while the balance typically $2.79-$2.84/kg. R2 traditional and good dairy-beef earned $2.94-$3.11/kg. R2 heifer prices were a little more varied, though still pleasing with better-quality types earning $2.74-$2.88/kg. Limited prime stock were well received with steers, 575-592kg, at $3.01-$3.03/kg.
