Wednesday – 27th August 2025
Charters Towers Combined Agents yarded a total of 3,034 Cattle, consisting of 2,090 Prime Cattle
and 945 Store Cattle.
The Prime Cattle consisted of 855 Bullocks, 205 Heifers, 849 Cows and 181 Bulls.
The Store Section consisted of 308 Steers, 205 Mickeys, 431 Heifers and 1 Cow & Calf.
Cattle comprised of a large offering of very well finished, heavy weight meatworks Bullocks. Fewer Cows were
offered this week resulting in a stronger market.
A full panel of processors competed strongly for their respective shares as supply remains limited in the southern states. The yarding was drawn from Mount Isa, Camoowel, Julia Creek, Greenvale, as well as western, local and coastal areas.
