The Western Section of the main Temuka calf sales was set to a wintery back drop with the mercury barely getting into double figures. The yarding was once again the usual mixture of traditional calves.

It was a solid sale as a whole but steers couldn't quite match earlier results. Traditional steers, 235-275kg, mainly made $1000-$1095 while 195-230kg were $880-$985. A few 290-340kg steers made $1150-$1260.

Heifer easily met or exceeded expectations. Straight Angus lines were was popular as ever, putting 190-235kg at $840-$930 and 165-190kg at $760-$790. Angus-Hereford and Hereford heifers had a more regular level of interest through them. These were $895-$990 for 225-270kg and $800-$860 for 200-215kg.

Just a token offering of bulls were available. A consignment of 235-270kg Hereford’s were in demand from dairy farmers at $1180-$1360.
