Commentary

Numbers increased as agents offered 250 liveweight cattle and 45 open auction calves. The usual buyers were active along with some stronger restocker enquiry. Quality was again extremely mixed as the few trade cattle sold to a slightly stronger trend with stores equal to the previous week’s offering. Cow quality was only fair to average with prices reflecting the cattle on offer.

Yearling steers sold from 170c to 348c with yearling heifers ranging from 200c
to 312c/kg.

Manufacturing steers sold from 140c to 272c as grown steers ranged from 260c to 340c with grown heifers fetching 260c to 328c/kg. Light cows sold from 150c to 180c, medium cows ranged from 150c to 240c with heavy cows fetching 240c to 260c/kg. Bulls sold from 200c to 260c/kg.
