MARKET REPORT - TUESDAY, 14TH OCTOBER
With scattered showers throughout the last week, numbers decreased once again. Roma agents yarded 5,903 head, with GDL bringing in 1,314. All the regular processors, Lot feeders and backgrounders were present and selective with their purchases.
A mixed quality yarding with Weaner cattle reaching mid-high prices, a small decline in Heifer prices, largely due to
quality with the market responding accordingly.
The number of feeders and quality cows reduced this week again as the market begins to settle down - prices will begin to reflect this accordingly.
A reduced yarding with just over 5,900 head of cattle offloaded at the Roma Saleyards Tuesday Sale.
The market responded to the quality presented across the day with all regular processors, feedlotters, and backgrounders actively bidding in a competitive marketDrawn predominantly from the local supply district, the yarding featured an abundance of pens from the Maranoa including Injune, Wallumbilla, Mitchell and surrounds.
Multiple runs of cattle were also consigned from western and northern Queensland including Winton and Quilpie as well as down south to Goondiwindi.
The wide selection and quality of cattle on offer once again solidified Roma Saleyards as the marketplace of choice.
