A tidy yarding of just under 325 cattle were penned at Wellsford last Monday including more older cattle. The market was steady for most and improving for some.
R3 Hereford-cross steers, 416-590kg, traded at $2.55-$2.72/kg.
R2 Friesian and Friesian-cross steers, 306-405kg, earned $2.39-$2.44/kg, with Hereford-cross, 388kg, lifting to $2.90/kg. Devon-cross heifers, 286-399kg, returned $2.48-$2.66/kg, and Hereford-Friesian, 348-362kg, maintained levels of $2.64-$2.70/kg.
Friesian and Friesian-cross made up the lion's share of weaner heifers but were harder work and at 154kg could only muster $205.
Autumn-born weaner Hereford-Friesian steers, 303kg, were well sought after at $750.
