The yarding was mainly very small lines with just four pens housing over 10 head. Older cattle only eased and a line of prime Angus-Friesian steers, 584kg, made respectable value at $2.83/kg, while good beef bulls, 556-611kg, fetched $2.79-$2.85/kg.
Two-year Hereford-Friesian steers, 481-499kg, traded at $2.87-$2.93/kg, though 467kg dropped to $2.78/kg.
The biggest section of the day was the 1-year steers, and the dry pinch was really felt. Some lines did firm slightly, like 245-277kg Hereford-Friesian to $2.89-$2.96/kg, though selective bidding on lesser quality off-bred lines meant a wide range of prices recorded.
Hereford-Friesian heifers, 222-242kg, firmed to $2.67-$2.77/kg, and made up most of their section.
