Grown heifers sold firm to 10c dearer than last month's sale, with the top pen making 588c/kg.

The best presented pen of heifers was awarded to Barwidgee for their lot of 25 grown Angus heifers weighing 403kg that sold for 572c/kg, returning just over $2300p/hd.

There was also a better quality yarding of yearling and weaner steers and heifers.

The 400kg steers sold to similar rates of the last sale at around 600c/kg, while the 300-350kg steers and heifers were up to 25c/kg dearer.

Denholm Green had the best presented pen of steers for their 25 Angus weaner steers weighing 377kg that sold for 648c/kg, returning just over $2400p/hd.

There was a full field of buyers with strong competition across the board, however, there was less competition from Auctions Plus.

The next sale is scheduled for Thursday, March 3.
