Cows could not maintain the levels of the previous sale and lost 4c to 10c/kg with some of the reduction in price quality related.

Grant Daniel Long report

Good sale in Dalby today, with market holding firm on a reduced quality yarding. Export buyer attendance was not as good as last week, however southern processor support was strong. All normal feed and trade buyers were in attendance.
