Grant Daniel Long report

Another light yarding this week with some beautiful rain in the district. There was a strong panel of buyers present here today with good added support from a few southern processors. With the push from the south on the cows the heavy cows saw significant increases reaching a top of 282c/kg and a general lift of 30 to 40c/kg. Dual purpose cows saw a good lift as well with a lot of sales around 220c/kg. Prices across the rest of the sale improved as well, most classes up 10 to 15c/kg and better for top lines. Plainer cattle still struggled in places throughout the day.
