Market report thanks to David Kent from the MLA.
There was a slight decrease in numbers for a total yarding of 1988 fair to good quality cattle. There were some good runs of high yielding yearlings to suit the trade, along with a good supply of feeder steers. Young cattle returning to the paddock were well supplied and there were 265 cows to process. All the usual buyers were operating, except for a Southern buyer, selling to a cheaper market.
Trade yearlings were firm to a few cents easier, selling from 380c to 562c/kg. Feeder steers were up to 18c cheaper, ranging from 380c to 505c, and heifers to feed were considerably cheaper reaching 430c, to average 396c/kg. Lightweight weaner steers attracted strong competition for the well-bred types reaching 558c, however the plainer types were significantly cheaper, ranging from 285c to 430c/kg. The heifer portion was up to 60c cheaper selling from 210c to 395c/kg.
Heavy grown cattle were back 25c, with the steers making from 380c to 430c and the heifers topped at 427c, to average 381c/kg. Lighter and leaner cows were 30c softer, selling from 250c to 330c, and the heavy 3 and 4 score cows were back 20c, ranging from 322c to 384c/kg. Heavy bulls to process were price unchanged selling from 350c to 421c/kg.
