Cows with their first calf at foot sold to $1,675 and heavy Angus cows on their third calf topped the market reaching $1,870/head at SELX.

The quality was only fair to good with most showing some effects of the dry conditions.

Medium weight weaner heifers sold between $375 and $660 and heavier weights reached $680/head.

Most of the weaner steers ranged between 240c and 270c and the heifers averaged around 205c/kg.

Heavy yearling steers topped at $950/head.
