Grant Daniel Long Report
A strong sale was held at Dalby today, with numbers slightly reduced as fewer cattle were yarded. Market conditions were generally softer across the store and feeder categories. However, quality cattle continued to attract strong competition and sold very well. Despite the easing in some sections, cows remained mostly firm throughout the sale, while bullocks and heavy heifers also held their value.
