The export and slaughter market exceeded expectations today with some great results across the board.
Heavy feeder steers saw a rise in price today with a quality pen of Charolais cross steers topping the market at 509c/kg. Light feeder steers held firm on last week’s market. Feeder heifers were also strong and sold to similar rates as last week.
We had an outstanding line of backgrounding heifers come to hand and sold to very strong rates. Weaner steers and heifers sold very well.
