Grant Daniel Long report

Total Yarding	With a chance of rain later in the week there was a reduced yarding. A good panel of buyers were in attendance with only one southern processor attending but not purchasing. Heavy cows came back 8c, with heavy young bullocks fully firm. Heavy feeder steers and heifers gained 8 to 10c. Balance of categories fully firm with the better-quality lines of cattle very solid.
