Commentary

3,200 head of cattle were yarded for the final Blackall prime and store sale for 2025. It was a mixed quality yarding and while the top of the cows held firm on previous weeks, there was a large variation in condition scores and plain cows sold to a cheaper trend. Despite an extra buyer grown steers and heifers could not maintain the prices of a few weeks ago. Quality was a factor for all classes of yearling steers and heifers with heavy feeder steers firm to slightly easier.

Restocker steers 280 to 330kg sold to 525.2c to average 515c, medium weight steers to feed sold to 532.2c averaging 494c and heavy feeder steers sold to 524.2c to average 494c/kg.

A run of light weight restocker heifers sold to 458.2c to average 438c, while the plainer pens averaged 250c/kg.
