Commentary

There were approximately 2,400 head penned representing a decrease of 230 head week-on-week. Quality declined with fewer heavy Angus steers and a larger proportion of secondary breeding. The crowd surged in size as more locals came to spectate while competition increased from local agents compensating for the lack of Northern demand. Several feedlot orders were competing for suitable lines of predominately Angus cattle. Demand was firm for most grades with quality having the greatest impact on results as weaner steers eased slightly while the heifer portion improved a little as did the heavy feeders.
