Stock Comment

393 cattle yarded at Grafton on Tuesday. The market improved remarkably for bullocks with these types selling to 253c/kg. Cows also sold dearer to see a top of 206c/kg. Vealers didn’t improve any and remained firm to see most sales between 190c/kg & 215c/kg.
With some good rains predicted at the end of the week for here and the tablelands as well the northern western plains. The cattle market will definitely get another burst as we come into spring. Let us just hope all the weather predictions come through.
