Commentary

High yielding yearlings to process reaching 438c/kg, and dearer trends for finished, heavy grown cattle, were the highlights of the 902 fair to good quality cattle. There were some good lines of well-bred weaners suiting the restockers, along with some good runs of yearlings suiting the feedlot buyers and backgrounders, and 100 cows, selling to a firm to slightly softer market.

Yearlings to suit the trade sold from 310c to 438c/kg. Yearling steers to the feedlot or backgrounder, price unchanged, making from 300c to 440c, and heifers to feed were back 12c, selling from 275c to 330c/kg. Young steers returning to the paddock were cheaper, ranging from 150c to 442c, and the heifer portion lifted 12c, making from 100c to 376c/kg.

The improved quality of heavy grown cattle resulted in price gains, with the steers selling from 266c to 355c, and the heifers also reached 355c/kg. Leaner cows were 4c better, making from 200c to 294c, and heavy prime cows slipped 10c, topping at 326c, to average 303c/kg. Heavy bulls to process were 5c better, selling from 272c to 300c/kg.
