Total Head Yarded: 480 Export: 160 Veal: 320
Comments: This weeks Fat Sale saw a good increase in numbers. Bullocks and Weaners were in good supply, quality of the yarding was mixed. Bullocks sold very well, to top at 424c/kg, with most sales over 400c/kg. Cows saw less competition with not all processors operating, selling cheaper by 10-20c/kg. Restockers were active on the good quality lines of weaners to see a fully firm market. Off quality cattle saw substantial price drop.

Grafton Annual Feature Weaner Sale
Date: Thursday 5th May March 2022
Total Head Yarded: 2850
Graftons Annual Feature Weaner Sale saw an excellent yarding of stock from the Clarence Valley and surrounds. There were some excellent lines on offer, however, a big portion of the yarding had lost their bloom, showing the effects of the continuous wet weather. Recent rain in Queensland saw increased competition on the Charolais and Bos Indicus Cross cattle, while most of the British types were snapped up by New England and Northwest NSW restockers.
