After a few quiet months, autumn-drop calves boosted prices at Yea's October store market sale.


Agents yarded 1550 head of steers, heifers, cows and calves.


Nutrien Delaney Livestock and Property auctioneer Anthony Delaney said the market saw the first of the autumn-drop calves.


"Our middle range of steers, that 350-400 kilogram mark, sold extremely well - probably our older steers were probably just a little bit easier but also lacked on quality and lines."
