Grant Daniel Long report
Numbers dropped to 3726 head yarded in Dalby this week with GDL yarding 1221 of those. The usual panel of buyers were present and operating. Overall, there was very little change on the day, especially in the better runs of cattle, most differences in prices were quality related. Lightweight yearling heifers continued to soften. Second grade cattle sold to a tougher market.
