Fortnightly Sale of Young Feeding Bulls, Store Bullocks & Heifers, Breeding Cattle
Forward: 511 head of cattle
Comprising: 136 Young Feeding Bulls, 250 Bullocks & Heifers, 105 Breeding Cattle & 20 Pedigree Bulls.
A busy ringside of customers present helped to produce a trade that would be better than expected for the young bulls, and the vast majority of store cattle as well. All cattle were well contested as feeders like to keep sheds topped up and grazers wanting to take advantage of an abundance of grass.
