Report Date: 30th September 2026

Total Yarding: 1622 (-430)

Well finished high yielding yearlings to process reaching 616c, and heavy prime cows lifting 12c/kg, were the highlights of the 1622 fair to outstanding quality cattle, a decrease of 430. There were also some good runs of yearlings suiting the feedlot buyers and the restockers,, along with some good lines of well-bred weaners returning to the paddock. Heavy grown heifers were well supplied and there were almost 200 cows. All the regular buyers were operating, except for one feedlot buyer, selling to a strong market.

Trade yearlings were considerably dearer, with the B muscled types selling from 540c to 616c, and the C muscled ones making from 442c to 534c/kg. Feeder steers were up to 20c dearer, ranging from 470c to 580c, and heifers to feed followed similar patterns, making from 430c to 523c/kg. Young steers returning to the paddock also attracted strong competition, with the Black Angus breeds regularly receiving over 580c, topping at 628c, and other types ranged from 445c to 570c/kg. Young heifers were mostly price unchanged, selling from 380c to 530c/kg.

Heavy grown steers were limited, with the best making 481c, and the heifers lifted 8c, selling from 378c to 458c/kg. Lighter and leaner cows were similar priced, however the heavy prime cows gained 12c, reaching 417c, to average 406c, and 394c/kg to the restockers. Heavy bulls to process continue to attract strong demand, ranging from 368c to 450c/kg.
