Commentary

Rainfall totals of 25 to 40mm last weekend combined with 2 big sales last week saw agents yarded 286 cattle down 827 head. A very mixed yarding, quality varied from excellent to plain. Most of the regular buyers active along with the odd new local re-stocker order.

Re-stocker steer weaners 11c to 30c/kg cheaper selling between 182c and 360c/kg, over 330kg traded dearer by 24c/kg 298c to 328c/kg with the best local butcher steer calf making 348c/kg. Light re-stocker heifer weaners held firm to dearer 170c to 288c/kg with the best light calf to the trade making 300c/kg. Best heifer butcher calf over 330kg made up to 336c/kg.

Too few yearling steers to gain a reliable quote 248c to 308c/kg. Light 2 score cows up by 2c to 6c/kg 148c to 172c/kg, prime heavy 3 and 4 score cows 11c/kg cheaper 200c to 216c/kg.
