Buyers could purchase top quality stock with confidence, PGG Wrightson auctioneer Bjorn Anderson told a large bench of buyers at the Dannevirke sale yards on Tuesday.
At the combined Dannevirke/Pahiatua weaner calf fair, vendors presented stock which had a reputation for shifting well, Anderson said.
The first pen into the sales ring were a top line up of six autumn-born Friesian calves which went for $500 a head.
The second line, described by Anderson as "outstanding", went for $565 a head, before a single bull fetched $590.
Next up were 14 quality spring-born calves from a Dannevirke vendor which made $550, with 21 head from Lasts of Kumeroa bringing $530.
