There was a good supply of cows, varying in condition. Yearlings were well supplied along with an increased supply of vealers.

The overall quality of the cattle was mostly good, with condition varying greatly. The full field of regular processors were in attendance, along with increased feedlot competition and a good number of restocker orders.

Demand for young cattle was very strong with vealers posting strong gains, both to restockers and processors.

Light weight yearling steers to restockers saw a much dearer trend with the strongest price gains in the lightly muscled steers.

Medium and heavy weight feeder steers posted strong gains in the face of the extra competition.

Yearling heifers to restock and feed sold to significantly dearer trends, those carrying sufficient weight and deemed suitable to feed attracting strong competition.

Well finished heifers suitable to the trade met increased competition to also post strong gains.

There were limited supplies of heavy grown steers with quality affecting price change on a slightly dearer market trend.

All classes of grown heifers sold to dearer trends. High demand for cows from all sectors resulted in dearer trends of 30c to 40c/kg and more in places.

There were substantially dearer trends for heavy bulls with some improvement in quality.
