Anthony Mahony from Brian O’Halloran stock agents said vendors were taking advantage of the current good cattle prices to offer more stock ready for fattening for the monthly store sales.
Angus trade steers made up to 341c/kg and heavy Angus trade steers up to 328c/kg. Heavy Hereford trade steers sold for up to 320c/kg and Angus trade heifers sold to 323c/kg.
Mr Mahony said buyers were not only from western Victoria but also from the south-east of South Australia and as far away as Gippsland.
Feedlots from Victoria, SA and NSW added to the strong competition.
