Yarding 3535 Change 1692
Despite further rain over the drawing areas the numbers doubled. Yearlings were well represented along with cows, while there was a fair selection of heavy steers and bullocks. Overall the quality and condition was mixed. There were limited supplies of crop and supplementary fed young cattle with a fair percentage still showing the effects of low feed stocks in paddocks. The regular buyers were in attendance.
Demand was strong through all classes with restockers and feedlots competing. Market trends saw light weight steers to restock sell on a firm to dearer market trend with some Southern influence. The medium and heavy yearling steers to restock and feed also sold on a firm to slightly dearer market trend. Yearling heifers to restock and feed followed a similar trend to that of the steers with that Southern competition making a difference on the British and European cross lots in the light weight classes. Plainer quality light weight heifers to process were up to 5c/kg dearer.
Heavy steers and bullocks sold firm to a shade dearer with little but quality affecting price change. There was a run of outstanding quality grain assisted heavy weight cows penned, showing increased yield potential. The market for heavy cows was up to 5c/kg dearer. Restockers were active on PTIC and plain condition cows at dearer prices also. Heavy bulls were firm to slightly cheaper.

This week’s yarding was up on last week. It was a stronger market with steers selling well. Feeder steers sold firm to dearer with the lighter end re-stocker steer reaching over $4. Most of the yarding was made up of local producers, with all markets firm to dearer.
