Total Yarding:  1,000

Commentary

There were 700 exports and 325 trade cattle yarded. The export run had a few good lines of finished grown steers and bullocks that attracted solid competition. Cow numbers were limited with only 235 head penned. Prices lifted across nearly all export grades by 10c to up to 40c/kg in some places.

The trade cattle were a mixed bag when it came to quality, there were greater numbers of vealers this week. Competition was strong for the exceptional calves with weight, shape and yield, as domestic processors chased quality. Plainer or lighter weighted cattle lacked the same buyer enthusiasm. The best of the B muscled vealers made to 398c/kg. The yearling steers to the trade made from 250c to 340c/kg, the yearling heifers made from 250c to 328c/kg.

The grown steers in the 400 to 500kg range made from 260c to 339c/kg, 500 to 600kg steers made from 275c to 338c/kg, while the 600kg plus bullocks reached 311c/kg. Heavy Friesian steers ranged from 230c to 246c/kg. The beef cows made from 222c to 270c/kg. The dairy cows made from 194c to 232c/kg.
