There was a lift in numbers and the quality was again mixed at Wagga sale yesterday. Weaners were back in numbers but still plenty were supplied, yearling feeders were well represented with buyers after weight. The trade cattle were in limited numbers and the prime grown steers were very limited. Heavy grown heifers were in reasonable numbers and around 1250 mixed quality cows were penned.

Light weaners were cheaper overall with a smaller restocking group operating, medium weight weaner steers ranged from 320c to 466c/kg and the similar weight heifers reached 358c/kg. The light heifers under 300kg to feed were 20c softer with most selling between 320c and 358c/kg. Medium weight feeder steers were 5c to 6c stronger and sold to 446c and heavy weights were up to 10c stronger in places selling from 378c to 446c/kg. Medium weight heifers to feed were firm ranging from 270c to 393c and heavy weights were stronger reaching 404c/kg. Trade cattle were 10c and more in places dearer, most steers sold from 359c to 422c/kg and heavy heifers reached 409c/kg.

Grown steers and bullocks were back 20c to 25c/kg with very limited prime stock with the best price for a steer reaching 404c and the heavy heifers sold to 377c/kg.
