Local cattle producers were out in force at Yea on Friday buying autumn-drop replacements for backgrounding and heavy feedlot cattle. Agents from Alexandra, Euroa, Yea and South Gippsland were the backbone of the monthly store sale which featured a 2341-head yarding, including 1569 steers and 684 heifers, with the remainder cow and calf units. Prices reached $2870 a head for 21 Hereford steers from A & B Parsons, that had a displayed weight average of 595.5 kilograms, or 482 cents a kilogram liveweight.
