Commentary

The first sale for a fortnight produced a fairly small yarding of 2140. It was a mixed yarding with fair numbers of young cattle to suit the feeders and processors along with good numbers of cows. Grown steers and heifers were in limited supply and there were some large consignments of plainer quality cattle in from the far west.

Young cattle to the processors were 8c dearer with the prime vealers and yearlings selling from 305c to 418c/kg. Feeder steers were 10c to 20c cheaper while the feeder heifers were 4c to 7c dearer. Feeder steers sold from 354c to 420c while the feeder heifers sold from 270c to 386c/kg. Young cattle to the restockers were cheaper with quality a factor. Young restocker steers sold to 425c while the young heifers going back to the paddock sold to 355c/kg.

The few grown steers and heifers were 20c cheaper with quality a factor. Prime grown steers sold from 310c to 380c while the prime grown heifers sold from 290c to 365c/kg. Cows were 4c cheaper with the 2 and 3 scores selling from 240c to 293c/kg. Prime heavy weight cows sold from 280c to 315c to average 304c/kg.
