A Wairarapa buyer paid $2105 for a pen of 29 four-year-old angus cows with their calves at foot at Stortford Lodge yesterday. That works out at $4.58/kg. The 459kg cows were sold by an Ohiti Rd vendor.

The next pen of two-year-old south devon heifers with calves at foot also made good money at $1790 a head or $3.47/kg.

In the sheep pens last week's good prices for spring lambs brought forward 1100 more from two vendors this week. Although the returns were slightly down on last week the lambs sold well.

There were about 1200 cattle and 1800 sheep offered.

Due to deadline constraints, only two pens of yearling heifers were recorded.

One angus ox weighed in at 905kg and five hereford-friesians tipped the scales at 798kg. They sold for $3/kg, or $2715/head, and $3.10/kg, or $2473/head.

In the sheep pens, prices remained strong with lamb prices creeping up each week. The price of ewes is more dependent on quality of offering. Spring lambs made their first appearance in numbers this week. They sold very well.
