Ballarat steers to 270c/kg

Prices achieved for a truly magnificent quality yarding ranged from $850-$1360 a head for grown steers, and $700-$960 for autumn-drop steer weaners.

Sales across the board were calculated mostly at 220-240 cents a kilogram for the heavier cattle, and 220-270c/kg for the weaner cattle.

Northern orders were placed from Wagga Wagga, Wodonga and Corryong.

However local and western support was negligible.

The yarding comprised of 4530 head – 200 short of the advertised number, while the sale was completed within three hours of the opening pen being sold.
