Commentary

Numbers reduced by just over 160 head as agents offered 280 liveweight and open auction cattle. Quality was again extremely mixed throughout the offering. The usual trade and processor buyers, specialty butchers, feeders and restockers provided steady competition with prices in generally positive territory as calves passed the $6/kg price range.

Vealer steers ranged from 540c to 589c as heifers sold from 455c to the sale top of 603c/kg. Yearling steers ranged from 420c to 550c as heifers sold from 453c to 533c/kg. Grown steers sold from 427c to 510c with heifers fetching 410c to 489c/kg. Medium beef cows sold from 327c to 385c with dairy breeds ranging from 251c to 340c. Heavy beef cows sold from 360c to 430c as dairy breeds ranged from 287c to 370c/kg. Yearling bulls sold from 400c to 433c/kg.
