The yarding was very much dairy dominated, with bulls to service the industry, as well as progeny from it. Hereford bulls, 562-712kg, made $2.78-$2.93/kg, while White Galloway, 390-510kg, returned $2.63-$2.97/kg. R2 bull numbers were limited, but the standout was also White Galloway, 275kg, at $3.30/kg.
Older steers were a mixed bunch for the limited number offered, and the best of the line-up made $2.75-$2.87/kg, while 1-year Hereford-Friesian, 250-325kg, returned $2.81-$2.88/kg, and Charolais-cross, 327kg, $2.90/kg.
Friesian heifers sold well, and R3, 355-515kg, fetched $2.50-$2.52/kg, while Hereford-Friesian, 334-454kg made $2.45-$2.74/kg, and Jersey, 355-510kg, $2.11-$2.47/kg. R2 heifer numbers were low, and Angus-cross, 358kg, sold for $2.67/kg, while lighter dairy lines were well off the pace.
The weaner pens were the busiest on the day, with lines for all budgets. Friesian bulls, 110-165kg, made $460-$490, crossbred, 117-138kg, $390-$465, and Hereford-Friesian, 105kg $465. Hereford-Friesian heifers, 144-165kg, made $615-$670, and 90-127kg, $480-$570.
Good competition for boner cows resulted in a solid market, and 520-630kg Friesian made $1.61-$1.97/kg, and 360-488kg, $1.56-$1.81/kg. Jersey, 353-490kg, were off that pace but still strong at $1.36-$1.64/kg, while Hereford-Friesian, 415kg, returned $1.71/kg.
Weaner pigs sold for $62-$77, mixed age ewes $68-$89, and mixed sex lambs, $52-$91.
