Hayes & Co yarded a total of 581 head at the second Kilcoy Special Store Sale held at the Kilcoy Showgrounds. Cattle were drawn from all local areas in the Brisbane Valley, South Burnett, Widebay and North Coast Regions, with the majority of the yarding being weaner and backgrounder steers.
The market for fats was slightly dearer with multiple processes in attendance. The market for weaner and re-stocker steers was fully firm and even slightly dearer for certain lines.
A new panel of local buyers were present as well as a large panel of travelled buyers with the majority of the steers going to Blackall, The Gums, Roma, Gayndah and Mundubbera.
Heifer prices were similar to other major selling centres apart from certain lines of heifers selling for breeding programs.
