Yarding 3711 Change -2163

The supply of stock reduced by 2,163 head down to 3,711 at Dalby.

Small consignments from South Australia and New South Wales, plus 626 head from far Western Queensland were included in the lineup. A full panel of export processors were present and operating in a generally dearer market.

The regular feeder operators and local and interstate restockers were also very keen to purchase stock and lifted average prices in places.

Yearling heifers to feed were in demand and average prices lifted by 25c to 26c/kg. A relatively small selection of bullocks to export processors improved by 3c/kg.

A good supply of cows sold to a dearer trend to average 5c to 11c/kg better.
