Commentary

This week’s yarding at Singleton saw a total of 906 head of cattle penned with numbers remaining relatively steady compared to previous weeks. The offering featured strong runs of well-bred British and Euro weaners though there was a noticeable scarcity of yearlings and approximately 80 cows included in the mix. Buyer activity was subdued with not all processing orders active at the rail. This reduced competition contributed to a softer market overall leading to cheaper prices across most categories.

Re-stocker steer weaners reached a top of 428c/kg averaging around 380c/kg. Re-stocker heifer weaners traded between 200c/kg and 322c/kg, experiencing a significant decline compared to last week. Odd yearling steers suitable for feedlot entry sold between 285c/kg and 372c/kg. Yearling heifers made from 266c to 300c/kg whilst re-stockers paid up to 330c/kg

Prime bullocks fetched between 260c and 330c/kg. Grown heifers sold from 270c to 290c/kg. Light 2 score cows were down by 28c/kg trading between 146c and 245c/kg. Heavy 3 and 4 score cows also fell by 20c/kg selling from 240c to 276c/kg.
