VALUES jumped at George and Fuhrmann's annual weaner sales, with top quality Santa/Hereford-cross steers cracking 310c/kg live.
Queensland buyers again led the charge, paying 290-305c for the heavier weaners and similar money for well grown heifers.
Good judges around the yards estimated the 1800 head sale was up 20-30c on the previous day's sale, and more than 50c up on the previous week.
The sale include big drafts of well conditioned Santa/Hereford-cross steers and heifers.
John and Marie Smith, Glenayre, Woodenbong, topped the steer section with their 365kg Santa/Hereford-cross making 310c to return $1129.
The top Angus/Charbray-cross pen came from Keith Graham, Boat Harbour. The 333kg steers made 290c to return $965.
