Bairnsdale cattle prices ease as feedlot orders decline

Agents yarded 950 cattle at the fortnightly store cattle market in a sale Bill Wyndham & Co livestock manager Colin Jones described as "lacking in quality".

"The better end of the cattle, which there weren't many of, were probably $150-$200 cheaper, and your secondary cattle were back $200-$300," he said.

"There was not feedlot competition here, nobody from the north so it was up to buyers from locally and South Gippsland who bought a majority of the cattle."
