It was a mixed result at last week’s Temuka store cattle sale and buyers were selective. The R2 steers sold on a softer market with quality lower, and Hereford-Friesian mostly earned $2.66-$2.73/kg with off-types at $2.51-$2.55/kg. Traditional heifers were sought after, and the better Hereford-Friesian made similar values to steers at $2.74-$2.78/kg. R1 cattle were mixed with Red Devon steers, 160kg, at $580, while heavier same breed heifers and bulls were $680-$700.
