Report Date: 31st March 2026

Total Yarding: 2,142

Commentary

Numbers were back by 766 for a yarding of 2142 cattle. Quality was good with large numbers of feeder weight steers on offer, along with lighter weaner cattle suitable for restockers. There was very limited supply of prime fat cattle and heavy cows. Not all the regular buyers were operating and the market sold cheaper.

Young cattle to the trade were too few to quote, prime yearling steers sold to 531c and prime yearling heifers to 445c/kg. Feeder steers were 20c cheaper, selling from 433c to 541c, and feeder heifers were back 15c, 425c to 473c/kg. Lightweight steers to restockers sold to 542c, and lightweight heifers to 454c/kg.

Prime grown cattle were firm, heavy steers sold from 370c to 450c, and heavy heifers, 400c to 465c/kg. Cows eased 3c, 2 and 3 scores sold from 150c to 368c and heavy prime cows, 360c to 380c/kg. Heavy bulls sold to 384c/kg.
