Total Yarding: 421

There was a decrease in numbers and the quality was mixed in the smaller yarding. Weaners were limited and there were only a few ideally weighted feeders. Heavy trade cattle were in reasonable numbers and there was only a handful of grown steers. Grown heifers and cows nearly represented half of the yarding and there were a lot carrying weight and condition. Two extra orders were operating on the heavy grown heifers and cows. The market showed mixed trends throughout the sale.

Light weaner steers sold to 480c and light heifers to 438c/kg. Feeder steers were 14c cheaper selling from 390c to 400c and restockers paid to 416c/kg. Feeder heifers sold from 370c to 414c and showed a stronger trend and restockers paid to 429c/kg. Medium weight trade cattle lifted 4c to 8c/kg and heavy weights were firm.
