The past fortnight of hot weather across south eastern Australia took further toll on store cattle prices at Wodonga, Vic, on Thursday.
Offering a smaller than advertised yarding of 1,430 head, a distinct lack of northern orders was a feature of the sale.
This resulted in a soft steer market of 150- 175c/kg lwt.
Heifers fetched 140- 160c/kg lwt.
Sales of breeding females, however, emerged as satisfactory on the day, with pregnancy-tested cows selling from $660- $810.
Cows with young calves at foot made to $970.
