At the Temuka store cattle sale last Thursday the typical late winter pasture pressures were evident with a lift in cattle volume. Demand for traditional lines remained, although dairy-beef mostly eased with R2 Hereford-Friesian steers mostly earning $2.66-$2.76/kg. R1 cattle above 200kg sold on a steady market, although lighter types were cheaper buying.
