Roma Store 3 Feb 2015: weaner steers to 294c

James Nason, 04/02/2015

Weekly NLRS sale commentary:

Yarding 7600 Change 700

Good numbers of cattle were yarded from south west regions and several consignments from central west parts of the state. The quality of cattle general improved and morning rain appeared to reduce restocker buyer numbers at the start of the sale. Light weight yearling steers continued to sell to 294c/kg, while heavy yearling steers to feed held firm in price. Good light weight yearling heifers attracted solid competition from restocker and feedlot buyers.

Light weight yearling steers hit 294c and averaged 267c, down 3c to 9c/kg. Medium weight yearling steers to feed sold to 266c and averaged 254c, down 5c, while those returning to the paddock made to 268c and averaged 262c, down 7c/kg. Heavy weight yearling steers to feed earned to 266c and averaged 255c, unchanged in price. Light weight yearling heifers made to 248c and averaged between 221c and 236c/kg. Medium weight yearling heifers to feed reached 250c and averaged 231c, down 6c/kg. A pen of good quality heavy weight yearling heifers to feed sold to 235c/kg.

Medium weight 3 score cows topped at 213c and averaged 204c, while medium weight 4 score cows sold to 224c and averaged 218c/kg. Cows and calves sold to $1,250/unit.
