Stock Comment

A mixed quality yarding was presented here today with buyer attendance fair & most processors operating. We saw significant increases across most categories. Bulls were dearer with the return of a major processor. Cows showed high demand selling 20-30c/kg dearer on the previous sale. Export Steers & heifers were also stronger lifting up to 20c/kg in places. Not a lot of feeder cattle were yarded however that market was also dearer. Weaner steers showed some stronger demand, selling firm to dearer by 10-15c/kg. Weaner heifers sold firm but dearer on the heavier end.
