Commentary

“Numbers remained steady as agents yarded 573 head of liveweight and open auction cattle. These sold to a slightly larger field of trade buyers with feeder orders taking a large percentage of the offering. Quality was mixed throughout the yards and this brought about some mixed results in price.

A solitary yearling steer sold to the trade at 370c as similar heifers returned from 345c to 414c/kg. Feeder orders competed for supply here as steers sold from 345c to 425c with the heifers making from 288c to 419c with the feeder cattle lifting by 10c to 15c/kg.

Grown steers and bullocks lacked the weight and conditioning to excite the trade buyers as they lost 15c to 20c to sell from 322c to 388c/kg. Feeder cattle on the other hand gained 15c to 20c to sell from 364c to 430c/kg. Grown heifers to the trade rose up to 8c as they returned from 305c to 396c with feeder activity from 315c to 410c with a rise of 15c/kg. Manufacturing steers ranged from 212c to 310c/kg.

Heavy cows lost some ground this week to ease up to 8c as they sold from 290c to 336c with lighter lots selling to trade buyers from 200c to 292c and to feeder orders from 232c to 286c/kg. Bulls sold from 240c to 300c/kg.
