Dairy lines provided much of the tally at Temuka last Monday, with very few pure beef pens. Angus-cross heifers, 412-665kg, earned $2.35-$2.43/kg and while Hereford-Friesian, 450-599kg, sold well at $2.39-$2.48/kg the most popular heifers were Angus-Hereford, 480-655kg, that made $2.45/kg to $2.57/kg.
Perendale-cross performed well in the store lamb pens at $113-$121, with heavy pens of other breeds $105-$144, and the remainder mostly $96-$104. Two-thirds of the prime lambs sold in the $160-$181 range with the bulk of the remainder at $130-$159.
The ewe pens were busy with a sizable yarding of scanned dry ewes. One pen earned $212, with most of the better end $140-$172. The lion’s share of the tally earned $100-$139, whilst $50-$99 covered most of the rest. Read more in your LivestockEye.
