Commentary

Rainfall across the Warwick supply area was very limited during the recent major rain event, resulting in cattle supply remaining close to last week’s large yarding, with a total of 1,721 head penned. Export buyer attendance was good and the southern operator of the previous week returned. The regular feed and trade buyers plus restockers were in attendance and active.

Prices generally improved across most classes with yearling steers over 20c/kg dearer in places. Light weight yearling heifers also experienced a lift in price. Cows were firm to 5c/kg better.

Light weight yearling steers returning to the paddock made to 550c to average from 443c to 469c/kg. Yearling steers to feed for the domestic market made to 524c and averaged from 478c to 493c/kg. Heavy weight yearling steers to feed averaged 479c and made to 503c/kg. Light weight yearling heifers to restockers made to 454c and averaged from 371c to 393c/kg.
