A yarding of 2200 head returned typical prices that were slightly higher than what had been expected earlier in the season.
Prices ranged between 370 and 440¢/kg.
With winter rain expected, particularly in the north-east, the sale was considered a good start to the season ahead.
Fairview sold the highest pen price on the day, with 30 head at 460kg for $1630.
The steer sale was followed up with a heifer sale on Friday, June 9 which saw 1298 head sold for prices higher than expected.
Seven calves returned the highest price for $2175 at 305¢/kg, while the highest weight price was 372¢/kg for 17 heifers at 550kg.
Broadford farmer Keith Caplerhorne and granddaughter Caitlin enjoyed the day, buying 12 head from Laradell in Seymour at $1280.
Mr Caplerhorne said he was “really glad” with the sale.
“The prices were about average for this time of year,” he said.
The day was academic for granddaughter Caitlin, 17, who is in her second year of a Certificate III in Agriculture at Glenaroua TAFE.
Caitlin said she enjoys the course which is complemented with working in general farm maintenance with cattle and sheep.
She said she is encouraged by family in her choice of career path.
“Dad wants me to really stick it out,” Caitlin said.
“I study for one day a week so there’s time for work on the farm.”
