On the first day of the second week, prices for European breed heifers ranged from $1035-$1350 for most sales.
But the first pen of the day, from McCoy & Son Pastoral Co, Ohio, Holbrook, sold from $1290-$1650, the later being the top price of the day.
Landmark Albury agent Pat Kindellan sums up the day which saw about 5000 head yarded:
Corcoran Parker, Elders and Landmark commenced the week two selling of weaner steers and heifer, and grown cattle sale.
Included in the yarding of 4959 head was a larger penning of European breeds with producers expecting more competition here than they might get in a normal fat cattle sale.
Maine-Anjou preferred for their temperament
electing a breed for their quiet temperament has pleased Ty Stanton, Tysubi Beef from Liliput in Victoria after his first sale of steers at the Wodonga weaner Hereford and Euro-sale on 12 January.
