Commentary

There was a smaller yarding of 352 cattle for the last Camperdown market. A large crowd followed the sale along with the usual couple of buyers. Quality was mostly from average to plain in a typical Winter offering although there were also good pens at the start of each agents cow run. The better quality cows in the market sold to firm, the medium to plainer cows were easier on average from 2c to 6c with a few isolated sales of leaner pens 8c/kg cheaper. Heavy beef bulls sold stronger and the mixed selection of dairy bulls were softer. Grown and younger cattle overall sold close to equal on last week. A highlight of this final market was the last pen was sold by an agent who was well known and regarded within the livestock industry. The sale was made up of 15 bulls, 288 cows, 28 steers and 21 heifers.

A sale of young steers sold to a restocker for 290c with a pen of heifers to the trade making 240c/kg. Plainer dairy bred yearling heifers made from 125c to 170c/kg. Grown steers and heifers sold to 250c and a pen of Friesian steers made 220c/kg.
