Stock Comment: 7th April 2026

Numbers reduced this week after the long weekend. Buyer attendance was fair with not all processors operating.Most categories saw corrections this week with lighter weight and out of spec cattle most affected. Bulls sold well selling firm to slightly easier. Bullocks held firm with very little to quote. Heavy cows sold firm to easier 15 to 20 cents, while medium and boner cows saw bigger deductions. Weaner cattle were in shorter supply and quality was mixed and sold firm to easier on previous sale.
