Commentary
Agents yarded 1,657 weaner and yearling store cattle at Powranna on Thursday in what was a very mixed quality line-up illustrating just how poor the season is in the Southern half of the state.
Well bred cattle sold well but there were many mixed sales as we got into the small and split pens with crossbred cattle pulling the averages down.
Heavy yearling steers (400 + kg) made $1,760 to $2,260, medium (330-400 kg) $1,060 to $1,940 and lighter $960 to $1,660. Heavy weaner steers (330 + kg) made $1,480 to $1,980 (av. 500c/kg), medium (280-330 kg) $1,280 to $1,740 (515c), light (200-280 kg) $1,020 to $1,500 (530c) and very small $680 to $1,040/head.
Heavy yearling heifers made $1,780 to $1,960 and medium $1,540 to $1,660/head.
Heavy heifer weaners made $1,240 to $1,680 (390c), medium $1,160 to $1,240 (415c), light $750 to $1,250 and very small $520 to $700/head.
