Cattle Market Summary – 10 June 2026

Previous Close Cattle Markets Summary

Cattle markets were generally firm to dearer across the eastern states, with strong competition for quality feeder, trade and finished cattle offsetting softer trends in some secondary categories and cows.

The trends appear to be:

• Supply mixed, with larger yardings in parts of NSW but lower numbers in several Victorian centres
• Strong demand for feeder cattle and quality finished stock
• Restocker interest remained solid, particularly for yearling steers and lighter weaners
• Trade and grain-fed cattle generally sold dearer
• Cow markets mixed, ranging from stronger in VIC and QLD to easier in some NSW centres
• Quality continued to drive results, with plainer cattle facing more selective competition
