A good sized sheep yarding followed, while in the rostrum, cull dairy cows and weaner bulls were the main feature of a 700 head line up.<\/p>\n

Prices eased for prime lambs, with top lines making $100, while medium returned $84. Most of the store lambs traded at $50-$84. The top end of a 420 head yarding of prime ewes sold on a solid market at $73-$84, with lighter types down to $33.<\/p>\n

Pregnancy testing is underway on dairy farms, which is bringing out the dries, and prices were steady for the bigger yarding of cull cows. Friesian, 493-566kg, made $1.69-$1.73\/kg, which covered most of the lines offered. Friesian & Friesian-cross, 355-497kg, traded at $1.34-$1.58\/kg, with a vetted-in-calf line up to $1.80\/kg. A small yarding of prime steers sold well, with Hereford-Friesian, 613-660kg, making $2.68-$2.77\/kg, and a small line of Hereford, 748kg, $2.87\/kg.<\/p>\n

The store sale was on the small side, with weaner bulls the biggest section, though quality was mixed. Two sizeable lines of Friesian, 110-139kg, made $435-$530, while Friesian-cross was softer at $245-$430.<\/p>\n

R2 heifers were a highlight, with Hereford-Friesian, 354-450kg, trading at $2.57-$2.74\/kg, while R2 bulls were mainly Jersey, with most 352-380kg, and making $2.07-$2.12\/kg.<\/p>\n
