Numbers decreased this sale though quality continues to be very mixed. There were some good pens of finished cattle offered, along with a
continuing supply of plainer lighter types. The usual buyers were present and competing in a market that was stronger for the finished lines
but eased on the plainer types.

weights ranged in price selling from 250c to 338c/kg. Those to feed eased 10c with light weights selling from 235c to 250c, while the heavier
lines sold from 250c to 289/kg. The heifer portion to processors held steady, receiving from 230c to 295c for medium weights and 208c to
310c/kg for heavy weights. Middle weight heifers to feed were 7c to 15c cheaper to range in price from 190c to 260c/kg.
