There were a few well finished heavy cattle and quite a few cows. The quality and condition of the young cattle varied greatly. There was a fair supply of well finished yearlings to suit the trade along with some very good cows.
Market trends varied through the young cattle with vealers to restockers selling to cheaper trends. Light weight yearling steers to restock and feed saw the secondary and very plain quality cattle sell to a significantly cheaper trend.
The good quality well bred steers saw a slightly cheaper trend. Medium weight yearling steers to feed sold to a cheaper trend, up to 15c/kg in places where breed and quality were factors.
There was a breed and quality related dearer market for heavy feeder steers. In the yearling heifer market again the secondary and plain quality heifers saw a significantly cheaper trend, struggling to attract much competition. There were some high quality medium and heavy weight yearling heifers suitable to the trade penned.
There were slightly cheaper trends for all but the plainest quality and condition cows. Those cows attracted little competition and sold to a much cheaper market trend. Heavy bulls were cheaper.
