Cattle prices through the roof at mountain calf sales in Victorian High Country

There was a buzz but not many bargains at Victoria’s 81st annual mountain calf sales as cattle prices soared to extraordinary heights.

Five sales were held across two days in stunning mountain country at Hinnomunjie, Omeo, Benambra and Ensay.

Jane and Craig Lloyd sold their 11-month-old weaners at Ensay on Wednesday for an eye-watering top price of $2,010 per head.
