Store hogget volume was above normal at Temuka last Monday. Fine-wool hoggets sometimes performed better than meat breeds with prices of $80-$115 common. Heavy prime hoggets made $180-$232 though most sold for $130-$176 with lesser types $90-$124. Ewes held and some very heavy types returned $190-$210 though most traded at $120-$186. Dairy-beef steers had a much better sale with 525-550kg mostly $2.52-$2.64/kg. Most heifers were Angus, 525-631kg, that earned $2.50-$2.58/kg or Hereford-Friesian, 503-605kg, that made $2.48-$2.56/kg. Read more in your LivestockEye.
