Warrnambool agents penned just over double the cattle from last week's sale. The quality was mixed, with all weights and grades represented. All domestic and export buyers were present and were joined by the regular feeder buyers. Once again, the market opened strong and the better portion of cattle offered kept competition strong creating a further lift across most categories. There was a small number of veal today, insufficient numbers to quote, making from 260c to 280c/kg. Trade quality was mixed, with domestic buyers going that extra mile for the better article, driving the prices up 7c to 20c in places, with the best of the steers reaching 310c/kg. The heifer portion sold in a very strong market, making from 265c to 295c/kg. Bulls with better shapes sold from 220c to 240c and the better dairy portion made 165c/kg.
