Beef Central, 15/03/2017

Yarding 8136  Change 3591

Recent rain must have been the motivator for the buyers at Roma Store sale today with a robust yarding of 8,136 head, a lift over 3,500 head on last week.

Quality was surprisingly solid with the minority showing any signs the effect of the dry summer, however rain has still been patchy throughout the area.

The market appears to be selling stronger than the previous week and all buyers were present and operating including some solid Southern restockers.

Calves under 220kg made to 428.2c to average 388c/kg. Yearling steers in the 280-330kg range made to 402.2c on a run of great quality with an average of 350c/kg. Steers in the 350-400kg range, made to 346.2c to average 310c/kg. Heavy steers over 400kg made to an average of 275c/kg.
