Market Reports

Stock Comment

Numbers stayed higher then average again with over 500 head yarded. A good selection of export cattle were on offer with most processors operating. The market followed the trends around the district easing across the board. Cows & export heifers were back 15-20c/kg in the prime section whilst secondary cows & heifers fell 20-30c/kg. Bullocks & bulls sold firm to slightly easier by 10c/kg. Feeder Cattle were in shorter supply selling firm to easier 10-15c/kg. Weaner cattle were also in shorter supply selling slightly easier & on par with market trends across the country. On a whole, the good quality cattle are still selling well whilst secondary cattle are receiving quite a deduction.

Our Combined Special Weaner & Store Sale has been changed to MONDAY 18th FEBRUARY.
