Grant Daniel Long Report
Good sale in Dalby today with an increased yarding on what we have seen in previous weeks. All regular slaughter buyers were in attendance, helping fat cattle to sell to trends of 10-20cents stronger across the board. Feeder cattle sold to extremely strong competition with feeder steers being 20c dearer, while not many quality feeder heifers to quote. Weaner cattle also saw fierce competition resulting in a 20c price increase on last week.
