Yarding 2017 Change NQ
The first Roma Store Sale for the year saw a small yarding of 2,017 head after recent rainfall across the supply area and an improved season in some areas.
Cattle were drawn from the usual supply area and the overall quality of the yarding was good, with light weight and medium weight yearling steers and heifers accounting for the majority of the numbers.
A large buying panel was present and included all regular processors and feedlots along with interstate restockers.
Prices improved across the yarding markedly from the last sale for 2020 due to the reduced supply and strong competition, with light weight yearling steers under 200kg reaching new record prices.
