Hayes & Co yarded 163 head of cattle for their first sale of the year with a smaller yarding due to exceptional rainfall over the Christmas period and vendors waiting to see how the market opened up. All categories were notably dearer up from the end of last year due to the Queensland’s widespread rain. Export cows, bulls and grain fed cattle traded 30c dearer across the board. Feeder cattle and weaners were in short supply but in high demand making 50-70c more than the last sale.
