A total of 1314 cattle were yarded at Northern Victoria Livestock Exchange Wodonga today and agents said prices matched recent sales with steers reaching $2780.
Gerard Unthank from Brian Unthank, Albury, said he was very pleased with the sale.
"It was every bit as dear as the previous market," he said.
Mr Unthank said the quality was good for the most of the yarding but with a few odds and ends people are selling with the gap between spring and autumn drop cattle.
Steers topped at $2780 for a line of 10 Angus, Witherswood blood, 487kg, from Taslo, Culcairn. Steers typically sold for $2112.
