Medium weights made $2000 and the heavier females to $2160.

The herd dispersal of Glen Eden Pastoral, Oberon, offered Angus cows in calf to Gilmandyke and Mosquito bulls which sold from $3700 to $4110. The first four pens averaged $4000.
Heavy Hereford cows with their third calf at foot topped the market to sell for $4420 from breeder Dan McMahon through Ray White Emms Mooney.
"It was a strong market with wide-spread rain well beyond our district working to spruce-up the job to another level again," reported Bowyer and Livermore agent Tom Card.
Angus steers 368kg vendor bred by Strathairn, Taralga, made $2470 to kick off the bidding followed by similar bred steers 351kg making $2370 for Kevalla Pastoral Co.
Highett Agricultural Holdings sold Angus cross steers, 280kg, for $2000.
Angus steers 340kg made 640c/kg or 2360 for The Ryan Partnership.
Agent Michael Anderson, Tablelands Rural, said the sale draft included one of the best line-ups of cows pregnancy tested in calf and they sold well with buyers eager for new calves come July, August and September.
"Vendors have timed the market well," he said. "Restockers are in the market for well-bred Angus. Heifers were also strong across the board.
"Prices remain very positive, on par with last month's store sale, not quite as high as our recent special weaner sale and well in front of prime sale prices."
