There was a small yarding of 586 head penned at last week’s Temuka store sale, with the market steady to lifting and a good bench of buyers from mostly mid-south Canterbury. R2 beef-cross and exotic-cross steers mostly fetched $2.60-$2.70/kg. Heifers generally lifted with most up to $2.58-$2.61/kg. R2 bulls were mainly Chatham Island cattle and buyers looked to have per head budgets in mind with these selling in a range of $690-$770. Traditional R1 steers and heifers sold well, and dairy-beef heifers strengthened to $615-$635.
