Two-year Hereford-Friesian steers, 500-554kg, lifted to $2.94-$3.03/kg, and a line of six very heavy steers, 660kg, sold for $2000 at $3.03/kg. Any other lines to push past the $3.00/kg mark were longer term types of quality. Angus-Friesian and Hereford-cross, 413-489kg, ranged from $2.93-$2.98/kg, though the breeds parted company there as lesser Hereford-cross, 398-411kg, made $2.66/kg, but 356-362kg Angus-Friesian earned $2.98-$3.02/kg.
In a similar fashion the heifer market improved and a couple of lines managed to hit $3.00/kg, including Hereford & Angus-Hereford, 528kg, and Charolais-Friesian, 330kg. Beef-Friesian, 356-436kg, sold for a consistent $2.83-$2.92/kg, while Angus-cross, 375-392kg, dropped to $2.58-$2.59/kg.
