The supply of stock at Dalby lifted to higher level of 5,201 head an increase of 1,523 from the previous week.

Grant Daniel Long report:

Numbers were up this week in Dalby. The usual panel of buyers were present and operating, but to specific buying guidelines. Overall, the market softened 5-10c/kg, with more significant reductions seen in the plainer types and high content lightweight yearling cattle returning to the paddock in both the steers and heifers, with prices back as much as 30 to 40c/kg in those categories.
