Roma Store Sale
Tuesday, 2 December 2025
MARKET HIGHLIGHTS - 2 DECEMBER
This week’s sale marked the third last sale of 2025, and it continued to solidify the Roma Saleyards as being the marketplace of choice with the yarding of over 7,900 head of cattle being drawn from three states across Australia.
The laneways were full with the regular buyers, feedlotters and backgrounders in attendance.
Cattle were drawn from across Queensland; comprising of the local Maranoa supply district including Injune, Mitchell, Surat and Yuleba, as well as Condamine, Glenmorgan, Bollon, Dirranbandi, St George and Thallon.
The yarding also hailed from the western regions of Blackall, Jundah, Longreach, and Quilpie and as far north as McKinlay.
In addition to this, cattle were drawn from South Australia, and from New South Wales including Brewarrina, Coonamble and Condobolin.
The third last sale for 2025 Roma Agents yarded 7,971 head a reduction of almost 1,600 head on the previous sale. All the regular buyers attending but selective in their purchasers.
A very good penning of backgrounding and feeder steers on offer as well as some quality lines of heifers and prime cows. The market however could not sustain the levels of the previous sale with the exception for cows which were stronger due to some southern influence.
