SKY NOT LIMIT
A warning that store calf values were running at rather high levels for a satisfactory return to fatteners in the next few nonths was given by Mr P. D. Shea, senior cattle buyer for the Canterbury Frozen Meat Company at Christchurch, at a recent beef cattle field day in North Canterbury. “I have been rather shaken to see and read about steer calves selling around $66 to $72,” Mr Shea said. "I know these are top-line calves, but they are also top-line prices, and at the risk of incurring the wrath of any breeders, may I say to those of you buying calves that there is a limit —and it is not the sky. “If the market settles at a lower level during the next 12 months, seller and buyer are going to have a difficult job making a deal.”
