They made from 500c to 554c while the heifers made between 370c and 490c/kg. Light cattle to the restocker were the big movers. Light steers were 80c dearer and made from 560c to 610c/kg. The heifers were close to a $1.00 dearer and ranged from 534c to 548c/kg.
Cows were cheaper on quality with most cows offered presenting in store condition. 2 and 3 score cows to the processor made from 280c to 352c/kg prime heavy cows made from 370c to 400c/kg. Cows going back to the paddock made from 306c to 374c/kg and the best heavy bulls got to 380c/kg.
