There was a medium yarding of sheep at Te Kuiti last Wednesday. Store lambs were of lesser quality, though lambs sold well considering. Better ewe lambs made $154, males $148 and ram lambs $150. Lighter lambs were more typically around $120-$128. Prime 2-tooth ewes were firm with the top end to $186. Scanned-in-lamb 4-tooth to 5-year ewes fetched $150-$162.
In the store cattle pens, R3 Angus steers, 617kg, made $2.94/kg and Hereford-Friesian $2.82/kg. A good line of R2 Angus-Friesian steers, 444kg, earned $2.81/kg and the balance around $2.63-$2.71/kg. R1 Simmental-cross steers, 277kg, sold well to $1040, $3.74/kg with 243-258kg at $915-$930.
