With a favourable spring expected, producers are leaving their cattle in the paddock, resulting in a yarding of only 267 fair to good quality cattle.
Well- finished yearlings to process were keenly sought, with the steers selling from 310c to 380c, and the heifers topping at 350c/ kg. The limited supply of young cattle still attracted a bit of competition between the restockers. Steers sold from 155c to 393c, and the heifers ranged from 148c to 308c/kg. Feeder steers were price unchanged, despite some operators not bidding due to the lack of numbers. Steers sold from 298c to 400c, and feeder heifers were dearer, making from 280c to 336c/kg.
Heavy grown steers to process were firm ,selling from 292c to 367c, and grown heifers made from 240c to 338c/kg. The handful of 3 and 4 score cows ranged from 270c to 310c/kg. The best heavyweight bull made 255c/kg.
