A smaller yarding greeted buyers at Kaikohe last Wednesday, with good pasture growth meaning vendors are not in any hurry to offload, PGG Wrightson agent Vaughan Vujcich reported.
Just a couple of pens of 2-year bulls were on offer and being cross-bred types, they were harder work at $2.65/kg. Lighter yearling beef-cross bulls returned $2.75-$2.85/kg, with cross-bred steers similar at $2.70-$2.80/kg.
Empty Friesian cow numbers increased, but this did not soften the market with most earning $2.10-$2.17/kg.
