Roma store 7 Feb 2017: Yarding jumps 75pc

Beef Central, 08/02/2017

Yarding 7649  Change 3287

The supply of stock was up on last week a massive 75%. The heat haying off even the feed that has had rain, combined with the current market, has encouraged producers to offload stock to cash in on current prices. Some additional restockers were present and operating along with the usual feeder and export buyers. The large samples yearling steers allowed average prices to ease in places, however top quality lines continued to attract strong competition. The supply of heifers exceeded demand and average prices eased 15c to 20c/kg. A large sample of cows could not maintain the levels of the previous week and lost 4c to 10c/kg with the plainer lines least affected.

Light weight yearling steers to restockers averaged 383c with some large runs making to 419.2c/kg. A very large sample of medium weight yearling steers to feed made the occasional 384.2c, with most close to 360c/kg. Heavy weight yearling steers to feed consistently sold in the mid 340c range with some to 350c/kg. Light weight yearling heifers to restockers averaged 328c and made to 346.2c/kg. Medium weight yearling heifers made to 334.2c to average 320c/kg. Heavy weight yearling heifers to feed averaged 313c and made to 320c/kg.

A small sample of heavy grown steers to export slaughter made to 304.2c to average close to 300c/kg. Medium weight 2 score cows averaged 228c and sold to 234c, while the best of the medium weights averaged 243c/kg. Good heavy cows made to 255.2c with the largest numbers close to 248c/kg. Heavy bulls made to 270c/kg.
