Report Date: 7th October 2026
Total Yarding: 560 (-223)
A smaller yarding of 560 cattle back by some 223 head saw Singleton agents sell to a confused market with the bigger runs of well-bred weaners from the previous 2 to 3 weeks replaced with smaller lots and plenty of singles. Light weight steer calves saw differing trends, those with cover dearer, lighter types cheaper and sold from 420c to 594c/kg whilst trade calves over 330kg reached 540c/kg. Similar trends with the light heifer calves selling between 360c and 518c/kg and B muscle types over 330kg to feed on topping at 565c/kg. Too few yearling steers to gain any reliable quote and they made from 456c to 565c/kg. Medium weight B muscle heifers to the lot feeders 20c/kg dearer and traded between 470c and 506c/kg. Around 80 cows offered, lighter types all dearer selling in a wide range of 234c to 371c/kg depending on cover, whilst the heavy 3 and 4 score cows were firm to slightly cheaper making between 350c and 395c/kg. The best heavy Bull topped at 400c/kg. Market Operator Angus Barlow.
