Prices were significantly better than last month with cattle coming into the sale from as far afield as Oodnadatta and Kangaroo Island

00:00Steers sold very well, especially those with weight, and $5.00 to $5.20 or $0.30 was probably about the mark for a lot of those cattle.
00:09A lot of those good feeder weight heifers in that full $50 to $5.00 range as well, so they're not far behind their steers.
00:16So I'd say that's probably a $0.30 to $0.50 jump on perhaps the previous mark. It's been pretty good.
00:21A lot of feeders south, a lot of feeders north, north of Adelaide, into Victoria, local, so it was not one specific area, it was one of them.
00:32We've had pretty good rain down here, and there's the hope of a good average to above average season at the minute.
00:38When it looks like raining or rain's forecast, it's actually raining, so it's a good thing.
00:43So I think people are probably accepting that that's going to be the way it is, and putting cattle in paddocks to set them up for spring feeding.
00:51There's a lot less numbers about now than what there was, and there's been a lot of cattle sold, so we're back to just up to $1,500 head here today,
00:58which is still a fair bit for a fair few for July, but we've been sort of turned after $3,000 in the previous month because it hasn't rained.
