Numbers eased slightly this sale, though quality was improved. There was a better run of supplementary fed finished pens on
offer, along with the plainer secondary types. Yearlings made up the majority of the offering, along with a penning of cows. The
usual buyers were present and competing in a dearer market, particularly on the better finished types.
Yearling steers to processors were 2c to 6c better, with prices making from 250c to 304/kg. Those to feed sold from 240c to
294c for middle weights and 260c to 307c/kg for heavy weights. The heifer portion to processors increased 15c/kg, partly due to
an improvement in quality. Prices sold from 232c to 301c/kg for medium and heavy weights. Those to feed also showed an
improvement, making from 200c to 263c/kg.
Heavy steers and bullocks lifted 5c to 6c to make from 284c to 302c/kg. Grown heifers reached 277c/kg. Cows showed the
biggest change, increasing 30c/kg on the better heavy cows. Heavy 2 scores sold from 171c to 220c and 3 scores made from
