Date: Tuesday 8th October 2019
Total Head Yarded: 296 Export: 80 Veal: 216
Comments: There were less cattle yarded once again following the long weekend. Bullocks & heifers were very scarce hence no accurate quote, while cows sold slightly cheaper mainly being quality related. Young cattle to processors saw a lift of up to 10c/kg, while restockers sold firm on last weeks rates.

Store Cattle Sale
Date: Thursday 19th September 2019
Total Head Yarded: 966 x 37
Comments: Dry weather continues to push cattle onto the market with many producers opting to sell instead of feed. There was large numbers of steers which would not usually be sold until after Christmas. The market for bullocks was softer compared to last month, mainly due to an oversupply, while steers 280-480kgs sold remarkably well with a Queensland backgrounder taking most of these. Both weaner steers and heifers sold easier which was mainly quality related. 37 cows and calves were offered selling dearer compared to previous sales. Plain condition and light cattle once again saw very little competition.
