Angus cross feeder steers, 487 kilograms, sold to $2770 at Wodonga on Thursday, while Angus cows with calves made $4000 as another week of rain made restockers whoop for joy.
Heavier yearling cattle were certainly in demand with the increasing likelihood of cheap feed in the wake of this harvest but agents were most impressed by the restocker bids for weaner cattle going on grass.
The top heavy steers were produced by MM and GL Hobden and marketed through Rodwells who also sold the top cow and calf for M and KM McMahon.
Autumn drop Angus weaners from Joy Ried and Son, Tallangatta Valley, 383kg at 8-9 months fetched $2430 heading north onto grass.
"The season is keeping everything right, said agent Michael Unthank who described bidding on Thursday as something of a "frenzy".
"No one know what the cattle job will do but if prices stay the same these buyers on weight alone could turn over 20pc on their money ."
Cows with calves sold by Rodwell, grass fed Angus fourth calvers with calves by Speckle Park, but not re-joined, which made $3500 for A. Colquhoun.
Cows were in short supply but heifers were in number, making to a top of $2340 for 453kg through Corocoran Parker, who also sold Charolais cross heifers, 401kg, for $2210 produced by Stephen Morris, Beechworth, Vic.
