Yarding 4020 Change -1180
It was a mixed yarding with fair numbers of young cattle to suit the feeders and processors along with good numbers of secondary young cattle throughout the yarding.
There were fair numbers of grown steers and heifers and there was a good supply of cows and Bos Indicus cattle.
Not all the usual buyers were operating resulting in another cheaper market.
