MUCHEA CATTLE REPORT 12/05/2025
Total Yarding 620
Numbers halved from last week with just over 600 head presented in a very mixed yarding. Quality declined with fewer prime cattle amongst a larger proportion of secondary lots and this was reflected in pricing. Well-presented local steers and heifers lifted 5/10c however these were few and with several buyers staying of the rail, store calves sold to a cheaper trend as did the cow market. Pastoral cattle represented about half of the sale and ranged from light framed animals lacking cover up to nicely conditioned Steers and heifers.
Most weaner steers were in store condition selling from 200c to 328c and with more fat cover up to 370c/kg. Weaner heifers in plain condition ranged from 100c to 276c and with more weight sold to a top of 318c/kg. Yearling steers returned 300c to 394c while yearling heifers sold from 100c to 252c for stores and better heifers sold to a top of 344c/kg. Pastoral steer calves were making 150c to 282c while Pastoral heifers sold in a wider price spread ranging from 50c to 296c both depending on quality.
Grown steers returned 250c to 304c while grown heifers made 150c to 262c/kg. Light framed pastoral cows lacking condition made 20c to 120c while bigger framed stores suiting feeders recorded prices from 140c to 190c/kg. Medium cows made 196c to 230c while prime cows didn’t reach last weeks values selling to a top of 250c/kg.
Bulls returning to the paddock started from 108c for plainer types up to 298c for well-presented young Angus bulls. Shipping bulls ranged from 160c to 290c and only 10 Slaughter bulls yarded selling from 212c to 264c/kg.

MUCHEA CATTLE REPORT 05/05/2025
Total Yarding 1,264
Numbers lifted to over 1200 head today at Muchea. The yarding was again mostly local supply with several lines of mixed quality pastoral cattle. The buying field was well attended and apart from the odd pen of local yearlings and weaners showing good fat cover, most were predominately in store or feeder condition and considering this they held their recent gains in values well. Cows and mature bulls also held ground on pricing.
Weaner steers were selling from 250c to 384c while weaner heifers ranged from 270c to 350c/kg. Yearling steers also mostly stores sold from 280c to 386c while yearling heifers had a wider variance of quality with stores making 148c to 258c and with more cover from 290c up to a top of 340c/kg. Pastoral steer calves sold well from 250c to 374c and pastoral heifer calves from 120c to 280c/kg.
Finished grown steers sold well returning 266c to 344c while grown heifers sold from 250c to 284c/kg. Plain lightweight pastoral cows lacking frame and cover struggle to attract bids starting at 50c to 149c while bigger framed store cows made 160c to 200c/kg. Medium weight cows returned 222 to 258c and prime cows realized 274c/kg.
Shipping bulls made 180c to 292c while slaughter bulls returned 220c to 286c and bulls selling for breeding realized 352c/kg.
