An autumn that has been wet yet mild and flush with feed has given markets an extra boost as more buyers enter. This has had a noted impact on the store lamb market as well as cull dairy cows nationwide. An influx of buyers looking for grazing cows has meant a lift in values at auction, pushing most above last year’s levels. Most empty cull dairy cows have been trading at $1.52-1.70/kg, while in-calf lines at Frankton were able to achieve $1.65-$1.78/kg.
