Yarding 7052 Change 577
Numbers rose by 577 head to see a total yarding of 7,052 at the Roma Store sale with steers and heifers yarded in similar numbers.
The overall quality of the yarding remains mixed and continues to include numbers from Western and North-West Queensland, however a large portion of cattle were drawn from the local supply area and prime cows were in short supply.
A good buying panel was present and operating, with all regular processors present, however one was not operating.
Competition remained strong for quality cattle with steers mostly improving while heifers eased in places.
Light weight steers under 280kg eased by 2c to 24c/kg. Medium weight steers under 330kg improved by 20c to 35c, and steers under 400kg improved by 13c to 65c/kg.
