Yarding 8035 Change 5222

The supply of stock increased by a massive 5,222 head to 8,035 at the Roma store sale.

Cattle were drawn from a wide area of the state, and also included in the lineup was a large consignment from northern New South Wales.

All the usual restocker and feeder buyers were present and operating, along with the regular export processors.

The much larger supply of yearling steers to restockers and feeder operators could not maintain the high levels of the previous week, with losses of 17c to 22c/kg, and more on secondary lines.

The light weight yearling heifers experienced similar losses. However medium weight yearling heifers to feed for the domestic market went against this trend to average 9c/kg better, while heavy weights experienced very little change in price. The relatively large selection of cows sold to a cheaper trend with losses of 17c to 32c/kg.

Steer calves returned to the paddock at an average of 465c with sales to 488.2c, and heifer calves averaged 406c/kg. Light weight yearling steers returning to the paddock averaged 17c less at 434c with sales to 468.2c/kg. Yearling steers in the 280- 330kg range to feed made to 439c to average 22c cheaper at 411c, and medium weights to feed were well supplied and made to 420.2c, to reduce by 18c, and averaged 396. Heavy weight yearling steers to feed made to 424.2 with a fair sample at 395c/kg.

Light weight yearling heifers to restockers averaged 386c and made to 408c/kg. A large supply of medium weight yearling heifers to feed made to 398.2c to average 380c/kg. Heavy weight yearling heifers to feed sold to a top of 400c to average 380c/kg. Medium weight grown steers to feed made to 378c to average 369c/kg. Grown heifers to processors made to 331c to average 279c/kg. Medium weight poor condition cows averaged 195c, and the better 2 scores averaged 235c, and sold to 248c/kg. Medium weight 3 scores averaged 252c and made to 263c/kg. Heavy weight 3 scores averaged 260c and made to 271c, and a few good heavy cows made to 288.2c/kg. Heavy bulls made to 320c/kg.
