Date: Tuesday 22nd February 2022
Total Head Yarded: 349 Export: 150 Veal: 199
Comments: Numbers were up slightly, again there was some good export cattle on offer as well as a good quality yarding of weaners. Not all processors operated on bullocks, seeing a slight price reduction of 10-15c/kg. Cows bucked the trend and sold 10-12c/kg dearer, to top at 398.2c/kg. All the young stock on offer sold fully firm, while heavy bulls sold slightly dearer.

Both Weaner Steers and Heifers sold fully firm with some excellent prices being received and some very good lines on offer. A big yarding of Cows and Calves met strong competition and sold dearer by $200-$400.
