Commentary

Numbers lifted slightly and the quality improved with more weight in the cattle. There were good numbers of heavy feeders and trade cattle with a smaller run of medium weights and light weaners. The grown steers and heifers were also better finished and better supplied and there were 350 good quality cows offered. Not all the usual buyers were operating and young cattle were cheaper.

Weaner steers reached 543c and heifers 520c/kg for medium weights. Feeder steers were back 10c to 15c sold from 510c to 581c/kg and feeder heifers were firm selling from 480c to 540c/kg. Heavy trade cattle sold from 490c to 521c and were firm to 10c softer with the heavier end holding firm.

Prime grown steers and bullocks lifted 20c on a much better run and ranged from 485c to 510c and heavy heifers lifted 10c to 15c and ranged from 456c to 485c/kg after a very light yarding last week. Heavy cows were 4c to 5c weaker and ranged from 387c to 433c/kg and the few leaner 2 score cows were slightly stronger selling between 376c and 392c/kg. The best of the heavy bulls reached 436c/kg.
