Yarding 7713  Change   +5913

The combination of seasonal conditions and no sale for two weeks due to the Anzac Day holiday next week, cattle numbers at the Roma store sale lifted to 7,713 head to be 5,013 more than the previous sale.

Cattle were drawn from a wide area of the state plus 885 head from New South Wales. Buyer attendance was good with the larger numbers attracting additional operators.

Buyers were able to absorb the larger numbers plus maintain firm prices across most categories and yearling heifers improved in price.
