The market at PUKEKOHE was very strong on July 31 with lifting schedules and a feel of spring in the air.

COUNTIES
Prices for a medium-sized yarding of 450 cattle remained firm at TUAKAU on Thursday, PGG Wrightson agent Roy Allen said.
Buyer competition was strong considering the very inclement weather in the days preceding the sale.
Three-year whitehead steers weighing around 495kg sold at $1.92-$1.96/kgLW and three-year Friesian steers at the same weight earned $1.69/kgLW, 3-year Hereford-cross steers, 380-450kg, made $1.86-$1.91/kgLW. Two-year whitehead steers at 377-430kg returned $2/kgLW or $755-$860 and even prices for lighter crossbred steers were firmer at around $2/kgLW, 16-month whitehead steers at 372kg made $2.17/kgLW or $810 and yearling whiteheads, 204-237kg, made $560-$580. Murray Grey yearlings at 170kg earned $545 and Hereford-cross yearling steers at 243kg returned $590. R1 steers, 125-134kg, sold well at $470-$495.

In the heifer section, two-year Simmental heifers at 388kg fetched $1.97/kgLW and good quality 16-month whitehead heifers at 397kg made $1.99/kgLW.

Last Wednesday's TUAKAU prime sale drew another light yarding of 350 cattle. Prices for heavy steers were similar to the previous week, with 630-670kg steers trading at $2.09-$2.15/kgLW. But the market for lighter steers at 520-580kg was firmer at $2.05-$2.10/kgLW.
Allen said prime heifer prices rose in line with schedule increases. Some 530kg whitehead heifers made $2.14/kgLW or $1136 and 440-470kg heifers earned $2.07-$2.12/kgLW. Quality Angus heifers at 520kg went for $2.22/kgLW. The boner cow market was also firm. Heavy Friesian cows, 510-580kg, traded at $1.50-$1.57/kgLW with the next cut making $1.35-$1.40/kgLW.

BAY OF PLENTY
"The smallest sale ever," was how PGG Wrightson agent Stu Langdon described last Tuesday's fixture at RANGIURU.
Just 125 cattle were penned in very wet, muddy conditions. Values were generally steady for the older cattle with solid R3 steers making to $1485, $2.19/kgLW and the few R2 steers fetched $730-$885, $1.90-$2.11/kgLW. Steers weighing better than 150 kg made $470-$495, $2.59-$2.64/kgLW.

WAIKATO
Ox and prime heifers sold well at the FRANKTON prime sale and boner prices were also steady for the better sorts.
Small yardings seem to be the usual at present, assisting the price.
All beef cross ox fetched $2.10-$2.18/kgLW, the heavier lines over 600kg selling at$1359-$1459 and 550-590kg lines made $1195-$1289 while 635kg Friesians went at $1168, $1.84/kgLW.

Heavy prime lambs drew good money, the best selling at $130, medium weights at $105 and lighter at $88. Good ewes went at $80 and store lambs $55-$80.
Rain and sodden paddocks are keeping yardings small reported Ian Thomson, Allied Farmers, but generally values are good to very good and yearling cattle are filling the most pens at auction.
Wednesday's FRANKTON store sale produced very good prices for that age group.
R1 steers 240kg topped at $730, $2.15/kgLW. Most of the rest in the class weighed under 200kg but still made $402-$480, $2.50-$3.09/kgLW and 254kg Friesians brought $520, $2.05/kgLW. $600 was paid for 312kg Hereford-cross R1 bulls $1.92/kgLW but all other lots fetched $2.01-$2.20/kgLW.

POVERTY BAY
The timing was right for the sale of one of the largest offerings of cattle around the North Island for some time when more than 1700 head of mostly very good cattle went under the hammer at MATAWHERO.
The sale included nearly 600 R2 and R3 steers. These had breeding and were in fresh to forward condition with buyers from a wide range of North Island districts keen to get their hands on them.
Yearlings were also keenly sought with local farmers taking a fair percentage of the smallish offering.
An outstanding line of Devon R3 steers weighing over 600kg made $1310, an estimated $2.04/kgLW and other big framed steers fetched $1100-$1105, $2.15-$2.21/kgLW.

With just 1255 sheep and bright sunshine it was another early lunch at MATAWHERO.

HAWKE'S BAY
Yearling cattle comprised about 90% of the 410 cattle through the ring at STORTFORD LODGE.
Just one outside buyer attended. Local farmers, encouraged by warmer weather, battled amongst themselves, with very good results for the vendors.
Quality and condition were very good according to Lawrence Redshaw of LI Redshaw Ltd and the depth of the inquiry can be judged by the fact that the entire offering of steers sold at $2.47-$2.97/kgLW.
Two nice lots of Angus/Angus-Hereford made $710 and $712. A few lighter ones sold at $525 but they were under 200kg. Breed did not matter too much as 259kg whitefacesteers went at $640, $2.27/kgLW and 258kg Charolais fetched $695, $2.69/kgLW.
Yearling heifers numbered 131 and sold just as well. Two top lots brought $570 and $580, $2.15-$2.31/kgLW while $455 was paid for 163kg Shorthorn heifers, $2.79/kgLW.

A yarding of 3500 store lambs, mostly ewe lambs, sold well. Ewes with lambs at foot were wanted and ewes scanned-in-lamb are still in demand.
A top line of heavy ewe lambs drew a final bid of $109.50 and several lines were $90-$94.70. Only light ewe lambs sold below $70. Best male lambs went to $97 while 30-35kg lots fetched $83-$87 and $79.60 was lowest offer for the class.
The ewes with lambs were rather light and the lambs mixed but at $58-$60 all-counted, they sold well. Some were available at $43-$47. Useful Romney type ewes, SIL made $65-$85 and others, SIL, fetched $64-$82.

MANAWATU
Strong demand meant good prices for both sheep and cattle at FEILDING on Friday.
The sale of 10,500 lambs and about 1000 ewes was very strong indeed and went well, PGG Wrightson agent Dan Flanagan said.
Better ewes, SIL 150%, reached $100. There were a lot of rough ewes in small lots but one good pen hit $97.
Of the hoggets better males were fetching $2.50-$2.60/kgLW which was on hell of a good result, Flanagan said.
A big percentage of the lambs now being offered are getting down in weight, around 30kg, showing the results of a lack of feed.
It was a very successful day at Feilding with everything selling well, he said.
And it boded well for the Feilding hogget fair on Wednesday when 20,000 head are expected to meet a solid market.
The cattle section also featured strong demand for an average yarding with not a lot of quality, PGG Wrightson agent Colin Waller said.
Two-year steers made to $2.28/kgLW.
Angus weaner steers around 200kg made $3.16/kgLW with more for lighter sorts. One lot of Hereford-Friesian made $3.65/kgLW.
"It's great money. There was a hell of a buzz," Waller said.

CANTERBURY
Medium lambs were up $3-$5 at the CANTERBURY PARK sale on Tuesday, PGG Wrightson livestock manager Shane Dickson said.

MID CANTERBURY
