Commentary
The large sell off continues with a yarding of 11200. Once again cows and young cattle suitable for the restockers made up a large percentage of the yarding with only odd pens of prime cattle mixed throughout. Overall it was a better quality yarding with better numbers of steers and heifers to suit the feeder buyers. There was very limited restocker support from northern buyers though there was additional support from the south.
Young cattle to the trade were close to firm with prime vealers and yearlings selling from 410c to 490c/kg. The very best of the feeder steers and heifers were firm to a little dearer, most though were 10c to 15c cheaper. Feeder steers sold from 398c to 531c while the feeder heifers sold from 340c to 488c/kg. The better quality young cattle to the restockers were 10c dearer however the plainer types were cheaper.
