Numbers decline due to wet weather

CQLX Gracemere agents saw decrease in numbers this week due the recent wet weather with 1191 head on offer, comprising of 526 Steers, 566 Heifers, 57 Cows, 9 Bulls and 33 Cows & Calves.

With the smaller yarding, we sill saw a strong panel of buyers which met with strong competition across the board. Cattle were once again drawn from Nebo and St Lawrence in the North, Rolleston in the West, South to Mt Larcom and all local areas in between.
