Casterton vendors and agents alike were happy with the results of the final day of weaner sales that yielded an average price of 261 cents a kilogram.
The yarding of 1574 averaged a per head price of $762 after sales ranged between $360 to $990 on all breeds including Angus, Black Baldy, Hereford, Charolais and Murray Grey.
Conducted by Elders and Landmark, the heifer sale concluded a successful week at the centre.
Landmark auctioneer Greg Bright, Casterton, said the yarding was slightly reduced from advertised as a number of Hereford heifers had been taken out by export orders.
Mr Bright said a couple of lots of Angus heifers were taken out because of fears about the impact of the fires and drought, as well as a hope that prices for female cattle would improve once good rains were received.
He said cattle coming forward were 10 to 20 kilograms lighter, but the sale was "quite reasonable".
"We've got a few blokes with feed around here," he said.
Mr Bright said the majority of the heifers were bought for putting on grass "or just poked out for a bit longer".
South Australian agents Miller Whan & John took around 30 per cent of the yarding for their clients, while Landmark Casterton purchased about 20pc for local clients.
