The quality of the offering was mostly good with few secondary quality cattle.
Condition was fair to very good in both the yearlings and the cows.
There was a reduced gallery of buyers in attendance.
Demand was weaker for the most part through the young cattle with less restocker and feedlot participation.
This resulted in cheaper trends in the majority of categories. Light and medium weight vealer steers to restock were significantly cheaper.
The heavy weights were only slightly affected.
Light weight yearling steers experienced cheaper trends, substantial in places.
Medium and heavy weight feeder steers suffered a little from the reduced competition, down 5c to 10c/kg, and more in places where condition was greater.
There was not a lot of change in the market for feeder heifers with the usual buyers in attendance.
Well finished heavy trade heifers were significantly cheaper under limited competition.
There were limited supplies of heavy grown steers, the well finished grown heifers much cheaper with quality and competition factors.
There was a reduction in competition for cows with market trends cheaper, down 15c/kg on the well finished heavy weights and more on the plainer condition lots.
As in previous weeks quite a lot of the better cows were destined for the domestic market.
