It was another wet sale at Taranaki cattle fair last Wednesday. Schedule reductions put pressure on the heavy steer prices with prime steers above 700kg at $2.65-$2.69/kg. The top-end of 2-year steers held at around $2.77-$2.82/kg. The balance softened a little, though most achieved at least $2.70/kg. In the yearling steer pens, very nice Simmental and Charolais-cross, and better Hereford-Friesian, sold at $2.80-$2.89/kg. Read more in your LivestockEye.
