Cows were again put forward in large numbers, while young cattle including calves were well represented. Quality was fair to good with condition very mixed.
There were quite a few well finished cattle presented, a credit to producers. Restockers were active on good quality young calves with the market trend as much as 23c/kg dearer.
There were increased numbers of vealers with the market also showing dearer trends, some of the better quality heifers experiencing strong gains.
Plain quality lightweight yearlings sold to cheaper trends. Better quality lightweight yearling steers sold to a slightly dearer trend with increased demand from restockers. Medium and heavyweight yearling steers to restock and feed sold firm to 10c/kg dearer.
Market trends through the good quality yearling heifers were firm to slightly dearer on the back of keen restocker and feedlot competition. The plainer quality heifers sold to cheaper trends. Well finished heifers to the trade sold 6c to 8c/kg dearer.
Well finished grown heifers sold to cheaper trends with demand from processors weaker also.
