Total Head Yarded: 487 Export: 217 Veal: 270
Comments: There was a lift in numbers this week, export cattle were well supplied, and condition was good. The market for both bullocks and cows was fully firm, even though one processor didn’t operate. Prime vealers were very scarce, however, 406.2c/kg was reached for calves going to slaughter. Restockers were lacking weight but prices still very good in a fully firm market.
