Some good falls of rain have been reported across the eastern half of Queensland and New South Wales since yesterday, with more rain still forecast to fall later this week.

The heaviest falls have been along the Qld and NSW coasts but falls of 10-50mm on average have penetrated further inland in both states, as well as most of Tasmania.

Some parts of eastern and southwestern Victoria, southeastern South Australia, and northern and western parts of Western Australia have also receive similar totals.

However, most of Western Australia, South Australia, the Northern Territory, northwest and central Victoria, western Queensland and western New South Wales recorded little or no rainfall for the past seven days.

The wet conditions have seen total national cattle consignments for the week contract by 36pc across Australia, with the majority of states penning fewer numbers.

The MLA’s National Livestock Reporting Service this morning said yardings across Queensland were 51pc lower compared to last week, as numbers were significantly lower at Roma store (55pc) and Warwick (47pc).

A weaner sale scheduled for Blackall tomorrow, that centre’s first sale for the year, will still go ahead, but numbers are back to about 1200 head due the impact of isolated storms in the Central West. However the wet conditions have forced the cancellation of tomorrow's weekly Roma Prime cattle sale.

NSW saw total consignments decrease 44pc, with Inverell back 73pc and Gunnedah down 86pc – reportedly the smallest yarding seen in many years, at 330 head.

Cattle supply across Victoria was back 7pc week-on-week, while numbers through SA dropped 40pc over the same period. In contrast, numbers at WA’s Muchea were up 13pc, while Tasmania’s Killafaddy market more than doubled week-on-week.

The Eastern Young Cattle Indicator (EYCI) improved 9c since yesterday to stand at 318c today, and has now risen by 15.5c for the week.
