The mood at the first store sale of April at Temuka was a little brighter than the previous auction. A reduced tally of 400 head last Thursday was easier to absorb. The R2 steer offering was heavy with Hereford-Friesian, 378-429kg, that were usually $1.95/kg to $2.10/kg. R2 Angus & Angus-Hereford, 302-329kg, were the most numerous amongst the heifer pens and reached $1.80-$1.82/kg while the best Hereford-Friesian were 419kg and $1.91/kg. Weaner Hereford-Friesian steers were priced from $180- to $350 but dairy types were harder to move. Read more in your LivestockEye.
