Yarding 7480 Change +3020

Numbers lifted by 3000 for a yarding of 7480. It was a pretty good quality yarding with good numbers of prime cattle in all sections along with good numbers to suit the backgrounders and feeders. There were large numbers of cows yarded. Not all the regular buyers were operating with some southern processors choosing not to bid though there was extra restocker support from the New England.

Young cattle to the trade were around firm with prime vealers and yearlings selling from 360c to 490c/kg. Feeder steers and heifers were up to 12c dearer with the feeder steers selling from 440c to 536c while the feeder heifers sold from 384c to 475c/kg. Young cattle to the restockers were considerably dearer with the young steers selling to 608c while the young heifers going back to the paddock sold to 548c/kg.

Grown steers and heifers were firm with the prime grown steers selling from 390c to 497c/kg. Prime grown heifers sold from 420c to 478c/kg. Cows were 21c to 27c cheaper with the 2 and 3 scores selling from 250c to 367c/kg. Prime heavy weight cows sold from 365c to 420c to average 390c/kg. Cows to the restockers sold from 242c to 385c/kg.
