A total of 2159 cattle were yarded and Paull and Scollard Nutrien Ag Solutions agent Will Jennings said they had been gearing up for another cheaper market but that was not the case.

"The heifers were definitely dearer than other sales over the past two weeks," he said.

Mr Jennings said heifers were $100 to $150 dearer in places, while the steers sold firm with where the market is at.

"Good grown steers sold well," he said.
