Under continued firm market, strong sales persisted throughout the Roma Saleyards Tuesday Sale, with just under 9,000 head of cattle yarded.
Steers dominated the yarding, with large runs and quality pens contributing to a hot market, following the momentum from last week’s sale.
Regular processors, feedlotters, and backgrounders filled the laneways under a sheet of morning fog, all actively competing for pens amidst strong current demand.
The quality and reach of cattle yarded once again solidified Roma Saleyards as the marketplace of choice.
The yarding was drawn primarily from the local supply district, including Roma, Wallumbilla, Muckadilla as well as Quilpie, Thargomindah and Augathella.
Cattle were also consigned from as far afield as Alice Springs in the Northern Territory and Marla in South Australia.
