Commentary

Tamworth’s first store sale for 2025 yielded 4022 head including a part herd dispersal from Moree and agistment cattle from West of Gunnedah. There were large drafts from Guyra Gloucester Cassilis the Hunter Valley with product from as far West as Nymagee. It was a larger offering of yearling steers and very good pens of light weaners. Strong competition of light weaner and heavier yearling steers from Taroom and Roma in QLD as well as Coonamble Narrabri and associated feeder demand. The heifer results to a generally cheaper trend although there was good competition from backgrounders and feeders.

Mixed breed yearling steers ranged $1150 to $1500/head and the lead of the Angus weaner steers sold $1305 to $1500/head. Bos Indicus weaners $1300 to $1390/head black baldy calves $1270 to $1330/head. Charolais steers sold to $1280/ head. Light steers under 200kgs sold $600 to $700/head.

Yearling Angus heifers$1000 to 1150/head with Bos Indicus $870 to $1120/head. Angus weaners $1100 to $1150/head. A large offering of Bos Indicus weaner heifers made $670 to $970/head. Very light plain heifers sold $200 to $600/head.
