Numbers dropped significantly after last week’s cheaper trends. Quality was very good with a lot of cattle across all classes carrying plenty of weight and finish. There was a bigger supply of vealers in the mix and quality was outstanding. The usual export buying group made it to the sale, while not all domestic buyers were operating. Heavy cattle numbers lifted and quality was excellent. Demand increased with Victorian abattoirs operating at their usual capacity after Friday’s public holiday.

It was an excellent yarding of veal offering buyers plenty of weight and yield. Vealers to suit processors sold up to 38c dearer making from 466-535c/kg.
