A smaller yarding of 348 cattle kicked off the year at Wellsford last Monday. Several buyers were back for annual draft lines and good competition lifted returns for many. Two-year Angus-cross steers, 428-463kg, lifted to $2.68-$2.77/kg and Hereford-Friesian, 411-468kg, $2.77-$2.82/kg. Heifers held value with most 327-452kg earning $2.43-$2.53/kg regardless of breed. Traditional yearling heifers, 290-332kg, returned $2.70-$2.76/kg. Dairy-beef weaner steers, 95-123kg, earned a softer $320-$450. Friesian bulls, 110-136kg, also sold at reduced levels of $300-$415.
