Commentary
Numbers eased and the quality of the yarding was very mixed. There were a few pens of weaners and plenty of yearlings that went to a mainly feeder buying group. Trade cattle were limited as were prime grown steers and heifers. Cow numbers were back to 450/head. The market sold to mixed trends and the weaners and light yearlings were cheaper. Cows also sold to softer competition but yearlings with weight, breeding and condition were in demand from feedlots and dearer, grown steers and heifers in prime condition were steady.
Weaner steers slipped 12c reaching 350c/kg and heifers were back 8c, most selling between 220c and 280c but topped at 310c/kg. Medium weight feeder steers were 20c stronger with a better line up of steers and ranged from 318c to 404c and heavy weights were also dearer topping at 408c/kg. Feeder heifers were 10c better and again due to breed and numbers, medium weights sold from 240c to 325c and well covered heavy weights up to 355.2c/kg.
Prime grown steers and bullocks were firm selling from 346c to 365c and heavy heifers remained steady 286c to 355c/kg. The cows were back 13c to 16c on the heavy weight 4 scores selling from 252c to 285c/kg and the leaner medium weight 2 score cows were firm 130c to 233c/kg.
