while feeder heifers ranged from 530c to 594c/kg.
✅ Restockers: Light restocker steers held firm at 550c to 648c/kg. Light restocker heifers found plenty of fans, lifting 15c to make
between 500c and 578c/kg.
✅Grown Cattle: Prime grown cattle to processors made 430c to 538c/kg.
✅Cows & Bulls: Prime heavy cows improved by 5c, making 392c to 420c/kg, while 2 and 3 score processor cows eased slightly on quality. 2
