Lighter yarding this week in Dalby with 3989 head yarded, GDL bringing in 1419 of those. The usual panel of buyers were present and active. The sale continued to follow the trend we have been seeing for the past few weeks, the better quality cattle experienced very little changes and the lower grades of cattle continued to soften. Heavy cows and bulls as well as weaner heifers all experienced some softening across the board. Weaner steers picked up in price, with sales up to 564c/kg for steers under 200kg and your good standard weaner steers sold to 498c/kg.
