Stortford Lodge weaner heifer fair

The weaner heifer fair at Stortford Lodge this week got off to a slow start but prices came up to expectation as the sale progressed.
Agents said quality was good overall, with the top lines perhaps slightly back on last year.
Waiputaputa, Wairoa, topped the sale with a pen of 16 charolais-cross with an average weight of 329kg, which sold for $725 a head or $2.203/kg.
