Total Head Yarded: 565 Export: 230 Veal: 335
Comments: There was a reduction of around 200 head this week as prime cattle really start to become scarce, with a mostly plainer yarding on offer. Good young bullocks met strong competition reaching a top of 299.2c/kg with most sales 270-280c/kg. Cows sold fully firm while prime butchers calves and vealers were slightly cheaper which was a reflection of the quality. Well bred weaner steers reached 262c/kg, but plain cattle saw little interest from restockers.
