A near capacity yarding at Yea saw feedlots chasing steers with weight while restockers stepped-up their support for lines of light Angus calves.
Some encouraging signs for store cattle at Yea today with feedlots chasing steers with weight, while restockers stepped-up their support for lines of light Angus calves.
The stronger demand came amid a near capacity yarding of 3000 head, with heavy grown steers selling to $1950 on a weight of 642kg as they kickstarted the sale at the 300 cent mark.
The hot spot of the sale was some bigger lines of one-mark young Angus steers that sold above 400c to a peak of 470c/kg liveweight for a pen of 40 calves from Balaclava Station, which had a displayed weight of 253kg and sold for $1190.
