A top-quality offering of about 1400 steers met a ready market at the second Weaner Steer Fair of the year at Stortford Lodge this week.

Prices were comparable with the first fair in March which were back on last year's exceptional sales.

There was some outside interest as it has rained in previously dry parts of the North Island.

As well as Hawke's Bay, buyers were from Waikato, Gisborne, Rangitikei and the Bay of Plenty.
