Nebo Combined Agents offered a total of 238 head comprising of 123 steers, 88 heifers, 20 cows and 7 bull and mickeys. The sale saw some good quality processing cows yarded along with an excellent quality run of Droughtmaster and Droughtmaster cross weaners yarded from the local Nebo district. The market for processing cattle was firm when compared to other local sale centres. Weaner steers sold slightly cheaper on the heavier end but gathered momentum as the weaners got lighter. Weaner heifers sold to good competition, with local re-stockers competing to secure the quality pens, some to go on for future breeders. Buying support came from local Mackay and Sarina graziers, local processors along with competition from Rockhampton orders.
