Total Yarding: 1,173

Commentary

Numbers nearly halved on the week before as agents yarded 1,173 head of liveweight and open auction cattle. These sold to a smaller buying field consisting of mostly trade and feeder orders as restocker buying was limited this week. Quality fell away with good lots few and far between with the market being mainly cheaper in price.
Vealer steers lost 20c as they attracted the trade from 400c to 490c with similar heifers making from 422c to 452c/kg. Feeders operated over both sexes from 410c to 435c with a small amount of restocker support from 420c to 476c/kg. Yearling numbers were small as the trade sought steers to 452c and heifers from 428c to 438c with feeders operating over both sexes from 385c to 436c/kg.
Grown steers and bullocks were a mixed lot as the trade were active from 418c to 463c to ease up to 10c as feeders took the bulk of the offering from 428c to 458c/kg. Grown heifers sold from 398c to 440c to the trade and to feeder orders from also 398c to 426c/kg.
The cow offering was small as buyers provided a little bit more competition here with the heavy lots making from 366c to 391c to lift up to 13c as lighter lots returned from 308c to 358c/kg. A small offering of bulls dropped 20c to sell from 308c to 358c/kg.
