Commentary

Numbers eased a little as agents yarded 727 head of liveweight and open auction cattle. These sold to a larger field of active trade and processor buyers along with strong feeder support. Quality improved this week with more conditioning on offer as pricing reacted accordingly to lift in a dearer market.
Yearling steers to the trade sold from 330c to 340c with similar heifers making from 285c to 360c/kg. There was feeder activity from 332c to 390c on the steer portion and from 295c to 360c/kg on the heifer pens.
Grown steers and bullocks saw a rise of 15c as they sold from 344c to 380c with feeder support from 365c to 409c/kg. Grown heifers saw the biggest lift of up to 24c to sell from 322c to 365c to the trade as feeders operated from 260c to 370c/kg. Manufacturing steers returned from 280c to 342c/kg.
