First cattle sales of the month

CQLX Gracemere agents saw similar numbers penned this week with 1666 head on offer, comprising of 710 steers, 748 heifers, 131 cows, 21 bulls and 55 cows and calves.

Cattle from as far west as Alpha, North to Collinsville, South to Miriam Vale and all other local areas.

With some improvement in the quality of the yarding and a full buyers panel on hand, seen strong competition across most categories, with prime cattle holding firm on last week’s rates.
