SOLID new year weaner cattle prices greeted vendors at yesterday's Wodonga weaner sale and the trend is expected to continue today.
A yarding of 2524 weaner steers and heifers will go under the hammer during day two of the Angus weaner sales.
Today, clients from Rodwells, Schubert Boers, BUR Livestock and Property and Corcoran Parker will offer lines of black cattle held back specifically for this sale.
Agents at yesterday's Wodonga sale said cattle producers who did resist the temptation to sell late last year into a strong store market were rewarded with even better prices than those received last month.

Competition on heifers is also expected to be fierce today based on the much dearer results yesterday, particularly from bidders using StockLive.
Heifers weighing 330kg to 430kg sold from about 450c/kg to 530c/kg during yesterday's Wodonga sale. Strong bidding also pushed the top-priced weaner steers to $1980.
The market kicks off at 9am.
