NARACOORTE CATTLE
August 13. Yarding: 725. Change: 220.
Numbers increased as agents yarded 725 head of live weight and open auction cattle with an improvement of over 200 head on the previous week. These sold to the usual array of trade and processor buyers along with feeders and a larger number of restockers this week. Quality continued to be very mixed, resulting in some wide price differences over the categories and also some mixed outcomes in pricing. Yearling steers to the trade made from 260c to 338c, with these easing in price by up to 8c, while feeders were active from 255c to 328c/kg. Restockers operated on steers from 229c to 312c, and on heifers from 170c to 324c/kg. Yearling heifers to the trade sold from 223c to 335c, while feeders purchased from 230c to 303c/kg. The quality of the grown steers and bullocks improved this week, with some more numbers on offer which made from 288c to a high of 344c/kg. Grown heifers to the trade returned from 255c to 330c, with feeder support here from 285c 312c; manufacturing steers made from 230c to 290c/kg.
