Small Yea female yarding attracts spirited bidding from local agents

Agents yarded 287 cow and calf units, cows and pregnancy-tested-in-calf heifers.

Nutrien Ag Solutions auctioneer, Josh McDonald, Warrnambool, said the yarding was boosted by several dispersals.

"There have probably been a lot of cattle sold earlier, on Auctions Plus," Mr McDonald said.

"There were a couple of dispersal lots, which bolstered the numbers."

He said there were some good cow and calf units on offer.

"Quality was pretty good, it wasn't a poor yarding," he said.

Most of the cattle went back to local agents, including those from Alexandra, Mansfield and Yea, who engaged in spirited bidding on some of the PTIC heifers.
