Total Yarding: 1,500

Commentary

Numbers fell to 1,500 at Blackall this week. Despite some good pens of prime cows yarded, not all the usual export buyers were operating and all categories of cows eased 15 to 20c, similar to most centres across the state. It was a very mixed quality yarding of yearling steers and heifers and buyers operated selectively.

Good quality light weight restocker steers were too few to reliably quote, while ‘d’ muscle lines sold to 462.2c to average 429c/kg. Better quality pens of steers 330 to 400kg made to 522.2c to average 519c and heavy feeder steers also sold to 522.2c/kg.

Pens of ‘d’ muscle heifers 280 to 330kg made to 380.2c to average 350c, while for heifers 330 to 400kg, backgrounders paid up to 440.2c to average 410c/kg.

Grown heifers to the processor made to 410.2c to average 383c with feeders paying up to 428.2c and a single pen of grown steers sold to 426.2c/kg. Medium weight cows made to 366.2c to average 353c and heavy 4 score cows topped at 388.2c to average 380c/kg.

Cows and calves sold to $2200/unit.
