Prices hit 500c/kg at Yea’s store market in a vote of confidence by producers. See our analysis of the sale.
It might not be full blown ‘grass fever’ this year but there appears to be enough spring feed starting to emerge to boost the store cattle market.
Prices for weaner steers and heifers were dearer at Yea today as restockers from a wide area – including some activity from the Western District – pushed rates up. They joined a strong field of feedlot buyers who kept prices ticking along around 400c/kg liveweight on the heaviest steers and heifers.
It follows reports of dearer results for well-bred lines of steers and heifers at Leongatha in Gippsland yesterday, with the official quote from for this sale from the National Livestock Reporting Service being $60 to $100 dearer.
