Grant Daniel Long report

Similar numbers in Dalby this week. The buyers panel was missing one major export processor and saw a few buyers in attendance but not operating. This resulted in the market softening to varying degrees with cows back up to 20c/kg. Secondary and out of spec cattle saw some significant reductions as well. Top lines of weaner steers sold to similar rates seen last week.
