Commentary
Numbers were up for a total yarding of 2067 head at Mt Barker. A large gallery of buyers attended for our last sale for this month due to the easter and Anzac Public Holidays. A quality line up of weaner cattle attracted strong competition pushing prices up 20c on both steers and heifers. Heavy yearling steers gained as well while a large yarding of cows remained firm on last week. Heavy weight bulls continued to gain on processor demand.
