Yarding 3419 Change -1487

Steers accounted for over half of the yarding and the majority of cattle were drawn from the usual supply area.

The overall quality of the yarding was mixed with a limited supply of large single vendor lines of cattle yarded.

A good buying panel was present and operating, including all regular processors.

The market remained strong with solid buyer competition on quality cattle across the reduced yarding and price fluctuations were reflective of quality variations.

Roma Saleyard records were broken with the demand for light weight steers resulting in a new top price for steers of 731.2c/kg while heavy weight yearling steers set a new gross record of $3,138/head.

Light weight steers under 200kg improved by 64c, while yearling steers under 280kg fell by 11c to 45c/kg. Medium weight yearling steers to restockers rose by 21c to 97c, and heavy weight yearling steers lifted in price by 6c to 44c/kg.
