Dalby Sale Report 26th November
A great sale in Dalby today, with all buyers in attendance.
All categories were firm to dearer with your feeder heifers 5 to 10c dearer.
Weaner steers were also firm with the best getting out to 596.2c/kg.
The movement of larger numbers of cattle nationally continued at Dalby with agents penning 9,215 head the highest number for over five years. A large sample of 1,309 cows and 517 bulls were included in the lineup.
The yarding was dominated by heavy weight cattle with 7,514 head in the first round of the sale with only 1,701 of light weight lines.
Export buyer attendance was good and the regular panel of feeder and trade plus restocker operators were active in the market. Light weight yearling steers returning to the paddock sold close to the previous weeks level. Medium and heavy weight yearling steers to feed varied in price according to quality.
The yearling heifers followed the trend of the yearling steers with only quality related price changes. Most export processor lines could not maintain the levels of the previous sale. Light weight yearling steers returning to the paddock made to a top of 596c to average from 530c to 544c/kg.
