Date: Tuesday 26th May 2020
Total Head Yarded: 750 Export: 350 Veal: 400
Comments: Both bullocks & cows were well supplied this week, all of which sold to a fully firm market. The quality of the yearling cattle was down, which was reflected in the prices. Surprisingly, there was a good run of light weaners which saw similar rates to last week, the lighter calves could have been slightly dearer.

Store Cattle Sale
Date: Thursday 21st May 2020
Total Head Yarded: 1398 x 90
Comments: Numbers continued to flow at the May Store Cattle Sale, all categories were well represented. The market was once again very strong with a large panel of outside buyers in attendance. Feeder Steers sold to 386c/kg, most sales between 350-370c/kg. Weaner Steers were not quite as strong as a fortnight ago, however, 500c/kg was reached on the odd occasion with most sales of quality calves making 420-485c/kg. Cows and Calves were a standout especially the lighter condition types, with not many sold under $1,600.00, to a top of $2,500.00 for good Charolais Cows with big lumps of calves at foot. Restockers and processors were both very active on PTIC Cows, to see the best reach 305c/kg to go back to the paddock.

Grafton Annual Feature Weaner Sale
Date: Thursday 7th May 2020
Total Head Yarded: 3,293
OUTSTANDING RESULT!!!!
The Annual Feature Weaner Sale held in Grafton last week, is one that will go down in history for more reasons than one.
3,293 head were yarded, which is believed to be the biggest single day Sale on record in Grafton. Not only was it a huge yarding but the prices were also hitting new heights.
It was a testament to the producers who put in the effort and presented such a quality line up of cattle. All day Wednesday local livestock carriers were kept busy, hauling cattle from Bellingen to Baryulgil and everywhere in between.
There was a strong contingent of buyers, with many still there late into the evening securing large numbers of weaners for orders, mainly west of the Great Divide and South into the Central West of NSW.
This year we included the team from Stocklive, to provide both buyers and vendors the option to bid or watch online. Due to the large numbers it was impossible to keep the catalogue running, however it was great to talk with vendors after the Sale and realise many of them had watched their cattle go through the ring.
At times throughout Wednesday and Thursday it seemed almost impossible to make it all happen. But thanks to a team of excellent staff, it did. The effort that was put in from the Auctioneers, Office Staff and the Yardmen was outstanding.
Thank you to all buyers for your support, the market was strong from start to finish and your participation was certainly appreciated.
Congratulations and thank you to all vendors on the quality line-up on offer. Although we couldn’t have the usual presentation for the winning pens, the cattle were still judged and there will be an announcement of the winners in coming days.
Thank you also to the sponsors of this year’s Sale.
