Traditional two-year cattle sold very well at last Thursday’s Temuka store cattle sale. There was selective bidding for dairy-beef, with the bottom end at $2.67-$2.77/kg and better types up to $3.17/kg. Demand could not meet the lift in one-year cattle throughput and this market softened, with the average dairy-beef steer, 225kg, making $2.98/kg. Heifers of the same breed, 220kg, sold at an average of $2.73/kg.
