Colac agents penned a small yarding of more than 400 cattle at their September monthly store sale last Friday.
As with previous sales at Colac, due to the coronavirus restrictions, all cattle were sold through the ring.
HF Richardson agent Jesse Brown said numbers were in line with the season.
He said the better quality cattle sold well, but there were few runs of cattle available.
"There was an interstate order from Tamworth, New South Wales, that helped it along," he said.
The northern NSW buyer was looking for steers and heifers about 300kg.
Mr Brown said there was limited feedlot demand and the main competition came from local restockers.
He said numbers were down at the moment as many producers had already sold stock at the good rates.
