The beef lines in the 2-year steer pens lacked weight but at 330-397kg made $3.21-$3.33/kg. Friesian was the biggest line at 12 head and sold for $2.86/kg, $1160. Similarly the heifer pens offered up some lighter cattle and exotic, 279kg, made $3.48/kg, while the feature was Hereford-Friesian, 416-474kg, $2.94-$2.97/kg. Friesian bulls, 304kg, sold well at $3.04/kg.
A few small lines of 1-year beef cattle had a good following and Angus & Angus-Hereford steers, 325kg, made $3.26/kg while their sisters, 331kg, returned $3.11/kg. From there steer prices varied dependent on the quality and condition and Hereford-cross, 394-428kg, looked good shopping at $3.05-$3.06/kg, compared to better quality Hereford-Friesian and exotic, 345-348kg, $3.51-$3.52/kg.
Hereford-cross heifer quality matched closer with the Hereford-Friesian and 225-288kg at $3.23-$3.31/kg covered both breeds, while a feature line of 18 Hereford-Friesian, 264kg, returned $3.52/kg.
The balance of the sale was made up with a good number of weaner's, and heifers in particular. These generally traded at $400-$490, with a smaller steer section making $540-$750. Friesian bulls, 98-103kg, sold well at $475-$500, while autumn-born Hereford-Friesian heifers, 223kg, earned $790.
