Scone Cattle Report
Report Date: 2nd June 2026
Total Yarding: 804
Commentary
Scone Auctioneers had the upper hand today as they presided over 804 cattle, 400 head less than last week. The yarding predominately consisted of freshly weaned British bred steer and heifer calves, along with approximately 70 cows, a small number of yearlings and the odd older steer and heifer with teeth. Not all processors competing at full capacity but that failed to dampen the enthusiasm of those in attendance as market trends for most grades presented were of a dearer nature.
Under 200kg steer calves were 48c/kg dearer selling from 370c to 615c/kg, next grade up saw similar gains making between 474c and 610c/kg, averaging around 570c/kg. Under 200kg heifer calves rose 30c/kg and traded from 375c to 534c/kg, over 200kg made from 400c to 534c/kg averaging around 508c/kg.
A handful of yearling steers to feed on selling between 500c and 556c/kg, similarly yearling feeder heifers made from 498c to 538c/kg. Prime B muscle Limousin cross yearling steers and heifers to the trade made from 520c to 568c/kg. Bullocks to 482c/kg and heavy heifers to 420c/kg.
Under 500kg cows both 2 and 3 scores made anywhere from 204c to 400c/kg, heavy 3 and 4 scores rose 13c to 19c/kg trading between 380c and 425c/kg. Best heavy Bull reached 398c/kg.
