Yarding 4088 Change -661

Smaller yardings persist at the Roma Store Sale, with numbers down by 661 to 4,088 head.

Cattle continue to be drawn from a wide supply area and the overall quality of the yarding was mixed.

Steers accounted for half of the yarding and again included good numbers of heavy steers and a run of quality local Angus steers.

A smaller but competitive buying panel was present and operating, with a strong restocker presence and despite all regular processors being present, one did not operate.

The limited numbers of light weight steers improved, as did the heavy weight steers while medium weight yearling steers eased through quality related demand.

Heifers mostly eased while restocker demand for PTIC females was strong.
