Commentary

The number of cattle penned at Toowoomba remained relatively close to the previous weeks level at 103 head. Overall quality was mixed with young cattle in the largest numbers along with a handful of cows and a few bullocks. The regular panel of buyers was present and operating across all classes. The better end of the medium weight yearling steers to feed experienced very little change in price. Yearling heifers and cows sold to a market in line with other selling centres.

Medium weight yearling steers to feed for the domestic market made to 336c and averaged 321c with poor quality lines at 172c/kg. Light weight yearling heifers to restockers averaged 222c and made to 228c/kg. Yearling heifers to feed made to 256c and averaged 240c/kg.

A couple of full mouth bullocks made to 203c/kg and returned $1,564/head. Medium weight 2 score cows averaged 178c and heavy weight 3 scores made to 183c/kg and returned $1,146/head. Light weight bulls to restockers made to 270c/kg.
