Yarding 8500 Change 4444

Cattle were drawn from across Queensland. The usual panel of buyers was present and operating. Recent rain events have remained patchy across the supply area resulting in large runs of cattle yarded particularly from Western Queensland.

The yarding was dominated by young cattle of mixed quality. Demand for quality cattle was strong across all categories but overall the yarding was of a reduced quality.

Yearling steers experienced quality related price reductions across most categories. However, yearling heifers under 200kg were up by 16c/kg. Yearling heifers to background or feed under 280kg were also up by 17c, while yearling heifers to domestic feed rose by 26c/kg. Grown steers and heifers were present in limited numbers and saw only quality related price changes. Cows were also present in reduced numbers and medium weights were up by 8c to 20c, while heavy weight cows rose by 17c/kg.

A good sample of light weight yearling steers to restockers sold to 336.2c to average of 311c, while a good sample of light weight yearling steers under 280kg to restockers sold to 330.2c, to average 310c/kg. Medium weight yearling steers to feed for the domestic market generally sold to 330.2, to average 310c/kg. Light weight yearling heifers to restockers sold to 288.2c to average 268c, while a large sample of light weight heifers under 280kg to restockers sold to 292.2c, to average 277c/kg.
