Yarding 6115 Change 832

CATTLE were mostly drawn from the local supply area, and the overall quality of the yarding was mixed.

A good buying panel was present and operating, however there were fewer Southern buyers in attendance this week.

The market continued to be quality driven with prices and competition remaining firm for sought after lines.

Demand was strong on a run of quality local EU yearling weaner steers and heifers along with restocker competition for store cows.

Steers and heifers mostly improved in price, with medium weight steers up by 16c to 20c, while medium weight heifers were up by 9c to 36c/kg.

Medium weight cows to restockers improved by 10c while the remainder of the cows eased up to 10c/kg.
