Commentary

There was a yarding of 1600 head, which was 100 less than last week. The yarding consisted of a good supply of young cattle and there was a larger penning of cows. Quality of the young cattle was fairly good with several runs of well bred vealers and weaners offered, however there was also some plaine cattle through the sale.

Most of the restocker buyers were present and operating in a market that saw the well bred restocker weaner steers holding firm, while plainer type cattle were 10c/kg cheaper. The weaner steers sold from 320c to 464c with the medium weights equaling last week average of 412c/kg. Restocker weaner heifers lost last weeks gain to be down by 10c selling from 266c to 358c/kg. Resocker and background yearling steers sold from 330c to 412c/kg.

The yarding of export cattle consisted mainly of cows, along with only an odd sale of grown steers and a few pens of grown heifers. Grown steers to process sold to 344c, while feeder steers toped at 360c/kg. The good yarding of cows met a market that was 8c to 10c easier for the heavy 4 scores, while most other classes of cows sold firm to 5 c/kg cheaper. Medium weight 2 score cows sold from 242c to 256c, while 3 scores averaged 265, and 4 score cows sold from 280c to 300c/kg.
