Commentary

Despite deteriorating seasonal conditions across the general supply areas numbers at the Warwick cattle sale eased by 458 head to 1,283. Overall quality was very mixed with more plain condition lines in the cow section. Buyer representation was good and most were operating very selectively. Well bred lines experienced fair demand however most classes could not maintain the levels of the previous sale.
