Stock Comment

Numbers reduced for the last Fat sale of the year. A good Panel of buyers were present however not all processors were operating. A small number of bullocks were yarded selling to an easier market due to the absence of a major processor. A good run of cows were offered selling firm to slightly easier. Export heifers & heavier younger steers sold firm. A small number of weaners & yearlings were yarded & were met with good competition. Weaner Steers & weaner heifers both sold fully firm to dearer with strong local & interstate buyers. Bulls were in short supply & sold slightly easier due to major processors not operating.
