Yarding 4690 Change +602

Only the regular export buyers were in attendance this week along with feeder operators and restockers.

Most classes could not maintain the levels of the previous week.

Well-bred lines met fair demand however a small slip in quality resulted in a large fall in price. Light weight yearling steers to restockers averaged 40c/kg less in places.

Top lines of cattle sold to similar rates seen last week, a lot of cattle were back around 10 to 15c/kg and secondary lines and out of spec cattle were back as much as 40c/kg.
