Round two of the Temuka calf sale was the Friesian calves, as well as small entries of crossbred. While there were 2300 calves penned around 1000 were sold prior to the sale or withdrawn. North Island buyers did not have the presence of past years, though grass driven demand from local buyers went some way to compensate.
Friesian bulls accounted for 75% of the yarding, and most sold to a price ceiling of $500, with just 134kg plus of quality trading at $465-$550, and two top lines at $570 and $640.
