Close to 10,000 cattle will pass through the Victorian Livestock Exchange at Pakenham in January, including two feature weaner and grown cattle sales, as well as a female sale to finish the month.
The January 12 and January 19 sales will feature several runs of vendor-bred weaner cattle, including Mayneline Angus, Whittlesea, which will sell 140 Angus mixed-sex calves, 10-11 months.
Clondrisse, Flinders, will sell 100 Angus and Angus/Hereford-cross mixed-sex weaners, 10 months, sired by leading Table Top bulls.
"The cattle are some of the best calves that Pakenham saleyards see and they'll be some of our heaviest cattle on the sale, with the lead drafts above 390 kilograms," Everitt, Seeley and Bennetts director Jarrod Bennetts said.
