Commentary

Numbers were back by 1081 for a yarding of 4106 cattle. Quality was mixed with large supplies of cows of on offer of mostly secondary type. Good numbers of feeder weights were yarded and limited supplies of heavy prime cattle. Not all the regular buyers were operating, and competition was lacking.

Prime yearling cattle eased 5c to 10c, steers selling from 370c to 410c, and heifers, 325c to 396c/kg. Feeders held firm, steers sold from 333c to 427c, and the heifer portion, 310c to 375c/kg.

Prime grown cattle were also firm, heavy steers selling from 320c to 399c, and heavy heifers, 285c to 378c/kg. Cows were 10c to 15c cheaper, 2 and 3 scores sold from 210c to 296c, and heavy prime cows, 285c to 312c/kg. Lightweight store cows to restockers went against the trend, lifting 5c, selling to 289c/kg. Heavy bulls sold to 339c/kg.
