 Commentary

Tamworth numbers reduced significantly to 1130 head which included 162 cows and calves plus ptic cows. QLD interest strong for those cows and calves. The balance of the offering taken up by local and from a wide radius of Tamworth.

Less numbers saw trends cheaper for weaner steers although better bred lines sold to a dearer trend. Similar trends through the heifer offering and again the well bred pens sold to dearer trends of $60 to $90/head. The plainer drafts of steers and heifers bore the brunt of the negative corrections.

The lead of the weaner steers $1040 to $1180/head and the lighter offerings $340 to $980/head. Heifer weaners in the top drafts $770 to $948/head and the lighter pens $310 to $510/head.

Cows and calves sold to strong demand with cows and their older progeny $1880/unit. The follow on drafts made to $1400/unit lighter drafts with younger calves $1100/unit. The offering of ptic cows topped at $1680/head and lighter pens sold for $1120/head.
