Agents offered a similar sized yarding of cattle, with the bulk being dairy bred, of poor to plain condition.
The usual field of buyers attended and prices generally eased.
An exception was the odd few better quality and finished beef bred vealers and cows.
These sold at firm levels, but the poor to plain cows and yearlings were 5c to 10c cheaper.
Some 1 score poor conditioned light weight dairy bred yearlings were 20c to 25c/kg lower.
A highlight of the day was a restocker who helped push dairy bred grown heifer prices up by 5c to 20c/kg.
The yarding comprised 24 bulls, 283 cows, 58 heifers and 46 steers.
The few C3 beef bred vealers sold from 235c to 280c, with restockers paying to 250c/kg.
Restockers purchased the only C muscled yearlings and spent from 180c to 220c/kg.
D1 and D2 yearlings sold from 140c to 180c, with poor conditioned 1 score dairy bred yearlings making from 50c/kg.
The D2 grown heifers sold from a price of 148c to 185c/kg.
The odd few heavy weight beef cows made from 198c to 220c, as D2 cows sold from 152c to 200c/kg.
The D1 cows made from 130c to 150c, with most E1 cows receiving from 100c to 148, while those in very poor condition sold from 60c/kg.
Heavy weight D1 and D2 dairy bred bulls sold from 155c to 180c.
The single B2 beef bull made 234c/kg.
