00:00The yarding was comparable to the season and you know weights getting hard to define and then it
00:04soon dropped off to under 300 kilos so your heavier feedlot cattle were hard to source and
00:09anything over 400 kilos was not really there but the cattle job went quite well as far as
00:15feeder weights once you're 320 kilo and above. Coloured steers would have been 420 to 450
00:21and your black steers around that same sort of money but probably a little bit more in places
00:26for the for the breeding and quality and then as you got lighter again it sort of rose up to that
00:32470 to 80 and I think one pen might have made five dollars you know so that was your 270 or 80 kilos.
00:39There were some went up into New South Wales but there was more people able to after the
00:44rains able to handle those smaller type cattle so it was pretty good that way and then once you got
00:49above 320 it was all into feedlots. A lot of your coloured heifers even suitable for feedlots were
00:54making four dollars so yeah there was good demand for that side too and your lighter heifer job too
00:59was was you know rangeable from that $3.20 to $3.60, $70 mark. First time there was a bit more local
01:06demand on livestock as well after the rain so we haven't seen that for a bit but not as big as
01:12New South Wales support as we've had in the past but it was still there but the locals picked up the slack
01:18a bit like a bit there.
