Total Yarding: 1,755

Numbers eased slightly for a good quality yarding. Weaners were better supplied and there was a good run of yearlings which suited both trade and feeder orders. Grown steers and bullocks were limited and there were nearly 600 cows penned. Restockers and feeder orders were strong and the market sold to a much stronger trend.
