Markets have remained strong in the North Island, and recent rain in Southland could explain strengthening demand there, although demand for store lambs in Mid Canterbury was down. http://www.nzfarmersweekly.co.nz/article/9176.html info@cplfirst.co.nz 23-01-2012 Dollar creeping up A cut to official cash interest rates might not do much to lower the value of the kiwi dollar, says ASB Bank chief economist Nick Tuffley. http://www.nzfarmersweekly.co.nz/article/9179.html info@cplfirst.co.nz 23-01-2012 Southern dry starts to bite NORTHLAND With lots of grass around in KAIKOHE there were plenty of people looking for cattle on Wednesday, but not many coming through, so prices were strong, Vaughan Vujcich of PGG Wrightson reported. http://www.nzfarmersweekly.co.nz/article/9157.html info@cplfirst.co.nz 16-01-2012 Strong start for New Year TARANAKI The store market started the New Year with a blast at STRATFORD last Wednesday, reported Sandra Engelen of Allied Farmers. http://www.nzfarmersweekly.co.nz/article/9154.html info@cplfirst.co.nz 09-01-2012 Cattle stay strong, sheep coming on Cows were the star performers in a yarding of 550 head at the KAIKOHE sale on Wednesday, PGG Wrightson Vaughan Vujcich said. http://www.nzfarmersweekly.co.nz/article/9141.html info@cplfirst.co.nz 19-12-2011 Grass and rain add up to strong prices Cattle are certainly making very good money at Pukekohe. Schedules have stayed strong and grass growth has been excellent, so providing nothing unexpected happens, the market should remain strong for some time. Recent rain helped make for a “good solid sale” at Tuakau last Thursday, and also helped the store market improve at Wellsford. http://www.nzfarmersweekly.co.nz/article/9130.html info@cplfirst.co.nz 12-12-2011 Fine weather and good yardings It was a magnificent day in the Manawatu this Wednesday for the Allied Farmers sale at RONGOTEA.
