Saturday 18th May 2024 – 1622 Head

Weaner Steers top $1420 and Heifers top at $1020 at the Second Silverdale Weaner Sale for 2024

A total yarding of 1622 for the second Silverdale Weaner Sale saw a dearer market for all types except for lighter heifers as has been the trend around all markets.

A top quality yarding highlighted by a glorious line of Charolais infused weaners brought strong competition from Western and Central buyers with the majority of the yarding going to travelled buyers from Augathella, Roma, Mundubbera, Taroom, Blackall and Bollon. Cattle were drawn from locals area with the majority of vendors going to efforts to have weaners pre-treated.
