We had a full yarding which is traditional for this time of the year so we've got a lot of the
00:04
same trading names from year in year out. We had a little bit more weight than what we've
00:09
recently had. I thought it was a good opportunity for feedlotters to buy those 340 to 420 kilo
00:16
cattle today. I'm a bit worried the sale will be full in a fortnight but I think that might
00:21
be a lighter yarding so yeah a lot of heavier cattle come forward today. Probably a good
00:25
opportunity for some smaller backgrounders and finishers there today. You've probably
00:29
seen a bit of a softening trend on those heavier cattle which has happened right across Victoria
00:34
and South Australia. So yeah the feeder steers there. The light cattle I was happy with the
00:42
line so if you've got a line of nice fresh Angus steers or a line of Angus fresh heifers the
00:47
competition was certainly there today and we probably really didn't see much change in those
00:51
last couple of sales. So yeah we had a few lines there nudging the $4 a kilogram on those light
00:56
black steers and good demand on the heifers. It's just when you come off on a few coloured cattle
01:02
or smaller lines that's when your price reduction will come in. Probably haven't seen conditions
01:08
like this. It's so dry so every property we go to it's either got some feed but no water
01:13
or they've got water but no feed and very reluctant to have the funds to buy in feed.
01:17
So that's what we're hitting every time so and hence why the yards are full today,
01:22
full in a fortnight. But yeah just you've got to keep working on that breed stock at the mark.
