Just over 740 head of cattle changed hands yesterday in the monthly Cattle Fair at the Matawhero saleyards and the market had a “pretty positive vibe” about it, according to auctioneer Chris Hurlstone from PGG Wrightson.
“Spring’s just around the corner, and the prices reflected that.
“Most of the vendorswere more than satisfied.”
A pen of capital stock R3 heifers from Waitangi Terrace Station at Kanakanaia sold for $1355.
In the steers, the top-priced R2’s on the day realised $1620, from Hinenui Genetics at Muriwai.
