Total Yarding 1345
Volume wise it was the same as last week however the breakup was different with a higher percentage of pastoral cattle and less local weaner calves presented. What was similar to last week was good runs of prime cows as well as good quality trade weight steers and heifers. The buying field was reasonably well attended and Local categories were very strong with gains of 5/10c pretty much across the board. Pastoral cattle showing condition also sold well but as quality fell away, so did values accordingly.
The limited supply of local weaner steers were selling from 500c to 562c while weaner heifers were making 280c to 500c/kg. Yearling steers weighing under 400kg sold from 300c to 508c and heavier weights from 352c to 484c/kg. Yearling heifers under 400kg were selling from 358c to 468c and with more weight from 380c to 462c/kg. Pastoral steer calves depending on quality and breeding ranged from 200c to 462c while yearling steers returned 360c to 460c/kg. Pastoral heifers also sold over a wide range with calves selling from 154c to 352c and yearlings from 166c to 456c/kg.
Grown steers sold from 330c to 454c while grown heifers returned 270c to 444c/kg.
Plain small framed pastoral cows sold from 100c to 220c while bigger framed stores made 230c to 286c/kg. Medium weight cows returned 280c to 344c and heavy cows from 300c to 356c/kg.
All categories of bulls lifted 8/10c with plain bulls to restockers selling from 200c to 350c while shipping bulls made 292c to 386c and heavy bulls returned 312c to 350c/kg.
