Commentary

Numbers eased with no sale next week due to the Easter Break for a total yarding of 1147 head of mixed cattle. Feeder buyers were chasing the heavier weight weaner steers while light weights were difficult to move with the dry conditions hindering backgrounder confidence. Heavy bulls eased while cows were mainly firm.

Weaner steers sold from 200c to 286c, and heifers made from 102c to 240c/kg. Yearling steers returned 200c to 290c while heifers sold from 198c to 220c/kg.

Grown steers weighing 600kg to 750kg sold to 226c while 500kg to 600kg weights made 188c to 228c /kg. Grown heifers gained with weights under 540kg selling to 232c while the heavier weight heifers were firm at 170c to 220c/kg.

Heavy cows sold from 150c to 180c while store cows gained selling from 50c to 164c quality dependent. Heavy bulls eased selling at 160c to 180c /kg.
