Grant Daniel Long Report:

Numbers jumped to 4990 head yarded this week in Dalby, with GDL bringing in 1450 of those. The usual panel of buyers were present and active, and we also saw the addition of two southern export buyers. Overall, the market did not experience any major changes on the previous week. Cows sold to slightly cheaper rates. Young bullocks, as well as the better pens of feeder heifers sold slightly dearer. Second grade cattle, especially lightweight yearling heifers sold better than previous weeks, closing the gap between them and your “A-grade” cattle.
