Numbers doubled and quality lifted, particularly in the young cattle section, with feeders and backgrounders competing strongly for the better bred categories. Again, there were several pens of grain assisted yearlings on offer. The cow penning increased slightly and saw trends decrease despite all processors being present. There was an extra processor after an absence, along with an extra feed lotter. Limited weaners were on offer as opposed to last week and these sold to similar trends. An improvement in quality saw light yearling steers sell mostly to backgrounders for dearer trends of 20c/kg, with restockers also competing. Feeders also experienced dearer trends of over 20c/kg. Medium weight steers to feed saw better trends of 7c, while heavy trade steers improved by 3c/kg .Limited drafts of good quality trade heifers sold to trends of up to 20c/kg better. A variation in quality saw some drafts of secondary heifers sell 4c to 10c/kg back, however most sold to dearer trends. Heavy grown steers sold to trends of 16c better, as did heifers reaching 18c/kg dearer. Cows experienced cheaper trends, with light 1 and 2 score cows 19c/kg back. The better yielding heavy cows saw values ease by 13c/kg. Bulls sold to cheaper trends of up to 17c/kg.
