Average Steer price Premium
It’s accepted that Steers in a weight range will make a 20 cent per kilo liveweight premium over heifers of the same weight range. I believe a good indication to future price movements is to track the Premium gap between steers & heifers.
Last week I predicted -
This week all weigh ranges except heavier feeder types over 350kgs were back in range. Expect heavier heifers to ease by about 10-13 cents next week.
And I was wrong, the gap has got wider. I still think it has too happen. We’ll see if it corrects itself next week.
