Grant Daniel Long Report:

Numbers dropped in Dalby this week, with most of the usual panel of buyers present, however, not all operating again. Overall, the market was very similar to last weeks. Heavy bulls to processors were touch dearer, young bullocks reached 226c/kg, and lightweight cattle improved in price, particularly for angus and angus cross cattle. Lightweight yearling heifers reached to 188c/kg for angus heifers, most good British and Euro heifers made 130 to 140c/kg with sales up around 160c/kg. Second grade cattle softened this week.
