The run of Angus weaners steers ranged from $505 to $680/head averaging from 216 to 268kg in weights, heavy weaners over 300kg reached a top of $800/head. Milk and two tooth steers to feed sold from $680 to $1000/head. Weaner heifers 200 to 260kg made from $470 to $480/head and heavy weights reached $500/head.
