Stortford Lodge: Angus steers sell well but prices ease in general

A good quality offering of Angus Steers sold well at the Stortford Lodge sale yesterday.

Heavy Angus steers continued to sell well but other prices eased at the Stortford Lodge store sale.

Most of the offering of about 1100 head was of good quality.

Yearling steers were a feature and sold well.

In the sheep section, a pen of 125 Wiltshire ewe lambs made $221. They were bought for breeding.

Otherwise, the lamb offering yesterday was mostly of medium quality and sold accordingly.

Buyers for the cattle and about 1500 sheep came from Hawke’s Bay, Rangitikei and Wairarapa as well as a number on the Bidr platform.

(There is no prime sale report this week.)
