MUCHEA CATTLE REPORT 13/01/2025
Total Yarding 740
Although the yarding was still relatively low, today’s sale saw an increase in numbers with just over 700 head mostly due to more pastoral and ex pastoral cattle with around the same volume of local supplies. The usual buying group was in attendance along with several extra store buyers bidding selectively. Weaner heifers enjoyed a 15/20c lift in values while the remaining market held ground to recent gains.
Vealer steers in store condition and lacking frame size were again at conservative rates selling from 100c to 210c and with bigger frame and quicker turnover potential sold from 254c to 340c/kg. The same categories for heifers saw Light vealer heifers starting at 50c to 190c and with better weight and frame lifted 20c selling from 200c to 280c/kg. Yearling steers showing store condition sold from 120c to 264c and with more cover returned 270c to 314c/kg remaining firm. Lighter yearling heifers sold from 60c to 192c while better heifers sold to a top of 278c/kg also remaining equal.
Grown steer Prices were down however this was a reflection on a decrease in quality more than lower values selling from 220c to 268c while grown heifers lifted slightly making from 248c to 274c/kg. The cow market held recent gains with Store’s selling from 80c to 180c, medium cows to 216c and prime cows sold to a top of 238c/kg.
Bulls returning to the paddock sold from 50c to 180c while shipping bulls made 180c to 308c and slaughter bulls returned 160c to 230c/kg.

MUCHEA CATTLE REPORT 06/01/2025
Total Yarding 624
The first sale for 2025 presented a light sale made up mostly of mixed quality local cattle and very few pastoral stocks. Local cattle showing good fat cover and weight along with a breeding component were sought after by the reasonably full buying gallery however store cattle lacking condition or breeding or both were difficult to sell.
Vealer steers in store condition or with smaller frames were cheap selling from 80c to 192c and with more weight and better breeding rates improved dramatically to sell from 242c up to 336c/kg. It was a similar story with vealer heifers lacking weight, size or condition ranged from 40c to 158c and with better weight and frame sold from 220c to 262c/kg. Store yearling steers again showing poor breeding or condition sold from 50c to 200c and with more weight and fat cover returned 220c to 366c/kg. Lighter yearling heifers sold from 78c to 190c while better heifers sold to a top of 282c/kg.
Grown steers sold well returning 248c to 310c while grown heifers also held firm making 218c to 258c/kg. Light framed plain cows struggled to attract bids starting from 20c to 100c while bigger framed store condition cows ranged from 132c to 188c and medium to prime cows sold from 192c to 236c/kg.
Bulls returning to the paddock sold from 50c to 150c while shipping bulls made 180c to 304c and slaughter bulls returned 162c to 216c/kg.

The buyer gallery was fairly full with most of the regulars present.
Weaner steers lacking cover and size ranged from 196c to 280c and with more weight sold to a top of 344c and lighter weaner heifers from 150c to 220c and the better bodies sold to 262c/kg. Yearling steers under 330kg made 222c to 268c and heaver steers from 240c to 308c while yearling heifers ranged from 150c to a top of 270c/kg.
Grown cattle were equal with steers making from 144c to 260c while grown heifers were consistently selling from 220c to 242c/kg. Plain cows lacking frame size were selling from 40c to 100c while heavier cows gained 5/10c with bigger framed stores selling from 120c to 186c and medium to heavy cows from 176c to 222c/kg.
