Numbers were down by almost 2000 head from the previous sale before the Easter break.

Merino wether hoggets with a fleece were making $40 to $65 while Merino ewe hoggets also with wool returned $30 to $59 and Crossbred hoggets sold to a top of $70/head.

MUCHEA CATTLE REPORT 08/04/2024
Total Yarding 875
There were similar numbers to the previous sale before the Easter break with the majority made up of cows and heifers with very few steers and under 100 bulls penned. Mature cattle presented mostly in slaughter condition however quality in younger yearlings and weaners was down from previous weeks. The prime cattle market remained strong and fortunately there were several fresh faces in the restocking sector helping to keep the market on plainer cattle buoyant.
Lighter framed vealer steers with little fat cover and dry coats ranged from 100c to 210c while heavier steers with bigger frames averaged 270c and sold to a top of 288c/kg. light framed vealer heifers with little weight once again proved hard to attract bids however with more weight and better frames returned 180c to 244c/kg. Yearling steers were selling from 180c to 290c while Yearling heifers in plainer condition under 280kg again struggled to attract bids starting at 70c up to 164c while the better presented heifers over 280kg sold from 184c to 262c/kg.
Grown steers returned 200c to 230c while grown heifers sold from 156c to 212c/kg. Light cows made 80c to 142c, medium cows 130c to 180c and prime cows realized 190c/kg.

A reminder that there will be no livestock sales next week. We are all looking forward to spending quality time with our families over the long weekend and back next week for a couple of maintenance projects in the saleyard to keep it in tip top shape.
We wish everyone a safe Easter weekend, with wonderful memories made during the time spent with your family and friends.
We hope to see you back in the Muchea Livestock Centre all refreshed for cattle sales on 8 April 2024 and sheep sales on 9 April 2024.
