Steer prices pushed to more than 400 cents a kilogram at Yea, as Victoria's weaner sales continued their momentum.
Elders agents sold 3905 head of steers and heifers, at their annual Blue Ribbon sale. Steers sold to a top of $1580 a head, while the best priced heifers sold for $1590/hd.
Elders Yea livestock territory sales manager Jamie Quinlan said it was a "magnificent run of cattle."
"It was a very even draft of cattle, I think we yarded 2100 head of Angus steers, which averaged about 400c/kg," Mr Quinlan said.
