Weekly saleyards

After a day off the previous week, it was all hands on deck at Wellsford last Monday as nearly 930 cattle traipsed past the rostrum. This was the biggest tally outside of weaner fairs since October 2021 and accumulated from the short previous week, winter conditions and limited processor space.

Despite the sudden lift in volume there was plenty of buyer interest from Northland, South Auckland and Waikato. Sellers were well-rewarded for quality lines of mainly R2 and R1 steers and heifers.
