Commentary
Numbers were up slightly for a yarding of 1,400 head, consisting of a larger percentage of young cattle, mainly weaners, and a fair penning of cows. Quality of the weaner cattle was mixed with several runs of well bred cattle through the sale, along with some plainer grades.
Good falls of rain saw increased demand from Southern and Western areas, resulting in restocker weaner steers improving by 20c to 30c depending on weight and breed,selling from 466c to 616c with the medium weights averaging 540c/kg. Restocker weaner heifers however, experienced the largest rise to be 40cc to 50c dearer ranging from 394c to 515c with the medium weights averaging 465c/kg. There was only a few yearling steers that toped at 494c/kg.
Cows dominated the export section with insufficient numbers of grown steers for a quote. The cow market improved by 10c/kg and more in places. The 2 score medium weights sold from 320c to 355c, while 3 score medium weights averaged 362c and heavy cows sold from 362c to 395c/kg. A strong bull market saw heavy weights reach a top price of 408c/kg.
