Pastoral heifers followed suit over a wide range of condition selling from 216c to 430c/kg.
The few grown steers yarded returned 284c to 432c and even fewer grown heifers making 398c to 410c/kg. Store cows made 250c to 280c to remain firm while medium weights gained 20c returning 308c to 374c and heavy cows also lifted selling to a top of 392c/kg.

The few grown steers yarded returned 328c to 400c while grown heifers returned 320c to 428c/kg.
