Just over 1200 cattle sold, with some very strong results posted.
One local farming corporation delved into the better end of the 2-year cattle, as well as the 1-year bulls, which meant 2-year Hereford-Friesian steers, 392-459kg, pushed to $3.50-$3.52/kg, which was also the money paid for 292-324kg 1-year Hereford-Friesian steers at $3.44-$3.54/kg.
The better lines of 2-year steers pushed past $1400, and included Angus, 473-520kg at $1480-$1570, $3.12-$3.15/kg. Heifers sold on a steady market as Hereford-Friesian, 369-399kg, returned $2.90-$2.99/kg.
Other 1-year steers also met strong demand, and Hereford-cross, 249-290kg, made $3.31-$3.50/kg, as did heavier Angus, 334-346kg. A line of 33 Friesian bulls sold for $900, $3.59/kg.
The 1-year heifer market was solid and Hereford-Friesian and Hereford-cross, 283-328kg, fetched $2.92-$3.02/kg, though select pens of lighter lines of both breeds sold to $3.38-$3.49/kg.
A good yarding of weaner steers mainly made $600-$725, and the better bulls, $670-$765.
