Roma Sale Report 30th APRIL

A much bigger yarding in Roma this week, consisting of mostly good quality cattle.

The yarding consisted of mostly weaners within a 300km radius of Roma, with cattle also being yarded from Winton and afar.

Today we saw prices still hold firm with sales from the last few weeks, considering the number of cattle yarded.

Cow job softened 10-15c/kg. Feedlotters are still paying a premium for Heifers that are Preg-Tested EMPTY.

With roads becoming more accessible cattle numbers at Roma almost quadrupled where Agents yarded 8,433 head.

All the regular processors feedlotters and backgrounders present and competing on special lines.

The market stronger for the quality pens of weaner steers and heifers.

Cows could not maintain the levels of last sale.
