Yarding 7594 Change +1394

The continuing dry seasonal conditions resulted in producers choosing to lighten numbers which lifted the supply by 1,485 head to 7,594 at Roma.

Cattle were drawn from western Qld, NSW and the local supply area and included several runs of quality weaners in excess of 400 head lots.

All the regular buyers attended along with a very large gallery of restockers and onlookers.

The lift in the quality of the yearling steers and heifers to restockers saw prices improve with the plainer lines receiving limited competition.

Bullocks and cows sold to prices similar to last week. Yearling steers in the 200-280kg range made 400c to average 356c/kg.
