Younger cattle sold well at Stortford Lodge yesterday in a store sale described as strong.

The best of the 18-month steers on offer made up to $3.24/kg while angus heifers made $2.89/kg.

The feature of the cattle sale was the 94 18-month angus steers from H and A McCallum, Taupo.

In the sheep pens longer term lambs sold surprisingly well in a mixed-quality yarding.

A feature of the sheep sale was the 1300 lambs from Hurakia, Taupo. The lambs were showing the effects of the lack of rain elsewhere in the North Island.
