Yarding 1274 Change 1050

The trend of much smaller numbers across most selling centres in recent days continued at Dalby, with the supply of stock reducing by 1,050, to 1,274 head.

The usual panel of buyers was present, however not all were operating, and there was fair line up feeder operators, restockers and local trade buyers.

The overall quality of the young cattle was reported generally good, and most classes sold would be a trend pushed on by strong support from restockers, feeder operators, and local trade buyers. Most classes of cows experienced strong competition from processors and restockers for the quality penned.

Well bred calves returning to the paddock made to 470.2c to average 449c/kg.

Light weight yearling steers sold to restockers at an average of 381c, with a few sales to 440.2c/kg. Yearling steers in the 280-330kg range sold to 408c to average 389c/kg. Light weight yearling heifers sold to restockers or background at an average of 359c with sales to 387.2c/kg. Medium weight yearling heifers to feed made 370c to average 350c/kg.
