Yarding 4740 Change 974

Numbers increased by 26pc and the overall standard was boosted by some large runs of good quality cattle.

Restockers and feeder operators took advantage of the well-bred lines of yearling steers and lifted average prices by 5c to 8c/kg. A similar trend developed on the yearling heifers with most making 12c to 18c/kg above the previous weeks averages. Additional export processors were in attendance and operating in the cow section, however not all made purchases with average prices fully firm to dearer.

Light weight yearling steers to restockers made to 442.2c with a large sample around 402c/kg. Medium weight yearling steers to feed were also in large numbers and mostly sold around 358c with sales to 388.2c/kg. A single sale of 272 head of heavy weight yearling steers to feed mouthed milk and two tooth prior to the sale made to 355c with other pen lots to 356.2c with a very large sample averaging 353c/kg. Light weight yearling heifers to restockers made to 372.2c in pen lots with most around 360c/kg. Medium weight yearling heifers to feed averaged 328c and made to 341.2c/kg.

A small selection of heavy grown steers to export slaughter made to 316.2c to average 314c and a couple of bullocks made to 307.2c/kg. Medium weight plain condition cows sold to restockers at an average of 238c with sales to 240.2c/kg. The best of the medium weights to export processors made to 254.2c to average 247c/kg. A fair number of good heavy cows reached 267.2c with most close to 257c/kg. Heavy bulls made to 271.2c/kg. Cows and calves sold open auction and made to $2,010/head.
