It was a difficult day for auctioneers and vendors at Temuka last Thursday. Scattered rain wasn’t enough to attract buyers and with a full yarding offered for the third week in a row there were too many for the market to absorb. Both steers and heifers were mostly dairy-beef types. Two-year steers, 415-505kg, made $2.35-$2.45/kg while 355-405kg heifers earned $2.05-$2.15/kg.

Prices were also consistently lower across the yearling pens. Hereford-Friesian sold in two cuts: 289-363kg at $2.42-$2.49/kg and 205-245kg from $1.96-$2.05/kg. Close to 60% of the heifers were Hereford-Friesian and 270-337kg earned $2.14-$2.24/kg. Read more in your LivestockEye.
