Trudy and Tony Robertson, Gellibrand, were on deck at Colac to see their 32 head sold. The farmers grow out beef cattle as a side business to their 200-head dairy farm. Their steers topped at $1080 or 274c/kg, while their heifers topped at $780. "It's about time the beef job made some money," Mr Robertson said.
