A yarding of about 330 cattle sold on a medium market at Stortford Lodge yesterday.

The best of the angus steers made $3.06/kg but all other pens were between $2.51 and $2.99.

The sheep yarding was a less than 500 head, the smallest in many years.

Agents said the recent rain meant vendors were hanging on to their lambs to eat growing grass and put on weight. Buyers were from Hawke's Bay.
