Transcript

00:00I'd say our prices overall for our heavy cattle are very similar to probably, I would say,

00:06for our heavier feeder type cattle.

00:10Yeah, we the cattle probably didn't have the highs of Port Nottingham and then very, very strong

00:17on your better lines of cattle.

00:20Yeah, I think your lighter, sort of secondary types are probably a little bit cheaper

00:26but then there's not the sort of quantity of buyers here to handle the sort of secondary

00:32cattle to go north.

00:33So all in all, so far, all the way, what we've done so far, I'd say very solid result.

00:39Yeah, sort of, it's sort of just an in-between time of the year for us here.

00:43Where are some of the buyers from today?

00:45Oh, we've got some local blokes buying at the Catlock P, Midfield's been a volume buyer

00:50and JBS have been a volume buyer for our heavy cattle.

00:53Excellent.

00:54And do you think that vendors will be pleased with some of the prices today?

00:57I think so, yeah.

00:58I think it's probably, it's at a good point in the market that it's, the vendors are making

01:03a good living out of it and our purchases are going, are going all right too.

01:08They've got the opportunity to buy cattle at not an extremely high price but just an even level.

01:16I think so, yeah.

01:17I am a pretty good, I think so, I think so.

01:18I think so, I think so, I think that's probably the most part of the home line and the

01:19past to win and win.
