Euroa special cattle sale yards 1300 cattle, including 900 steers

Rodwells livestock agent Ryan Carpenter, Euroa, said the special store cattle sale remained on par with other store sales, and was firm on last month.

"The sale went pretty good," he said.

"You come off into your lighter-end calves and for what they were, they were genuinely pretty dear for the quality they held.

"Lighter heifers might've been a bit cheaper than last month."

Mr Carpenter said the heavier end of the sale seemed firm, with a strong line of black calves that sold to good competition from NSW, southern and northern Victoria.

"There's not as much support from northern feedlotters here today, there's local influence, and we've had more people coming from the south which is good," he said.

"We had someone come from Camperdown down south and they soaked up a lot.

"It's good to see the south is playing and last year the north was playing, so it's interesting."

Elders livestock agent Joe Allen, Euroa, said steers under 400kg sold firm-to-softer compared to previous sales.

"The sale was a bit dearer, we had a run of Angus steers mainly between 300-400kg, and it was considerably dearer," he said.

"The bulk of the yarding was made up of steers, we had nearly 900 steers here today out of 1300 cattle, and the quality was good.

"All in all it was good, it was about where we expected it to be, days are getting longer and we have more sun and a bit of growth."

Mr Allen said he heard sales on the northern border were comparable to Euroa's sale, and the yarding was stronger than usual for the time of year.

He said he believed graziers in the Euroa district would be well set up headed into spring.
