Heavier steers were slightly cheaper at Euroa, but weaner calves maintained the prices of recent months, according to agents.
Agents yarded 838 head of steers, heifers and pregnancy-tested-in-calf females.
A line of very light heifers, from Carwellyn Park, sold for more than 800 cents a kilogram.
Wangaratta Nutrien Ag Solutions auctioneer Daniel Fischer said the run of January/February-drop calves continued.
"The money is bringing a few of those out of the woodwork," Mr Fischer said.
Commission buyers Graeme Ward, Albury, NSW, Duncan Brown, Wagga Wagga, NSW, and Wangaratta and Shepparton agents were very strong.
"We are only eight weeks from spring," Mr Fischer said.
"I think we are all starting to get a bit of a go up in some of these paddocks."
Nutrien Delaney Livestock auctioneer Anthony Delaney said it was a typical winter yarding.
Mr Delaney said the quality of the stock was a little bit better, in comparison with previous years.
"If anything the secondary quality - and lighter end - might have eased off a little bit," he said.
Older cattle were not in demand, and may have sold a little easier.
Steers between 200-300kg sold for 500-600c/kg.
"The 300-400kg was still around the mid-500c/kg, while over 400kg, was floating about 500c/kg, not much more," Mr Delaney said.
He said there were few heifers with weight.
"We are still in an area where a lot of people have had a season, so they are keeping them," he said.
