TUESDAY, 18 NOVEMER
A very strong market in Roma today, a lot of Western cattle yarded, as well as some from the South Western Queensland areas.
The Maranoa has had decent falls in some areas, hence the reduced number of cattle this week. Heavy cattle are still sought after, and weaner cattle sold to much dearer trends
A reduced yarding on last week’s sale did not detract from the strong prices with a little over 3,500 head of cattle consigned through Roma Saleyards.
After good rain across the region, the market continued to kick with all the regular processors, feedlotters and backgrounders present and actively bidding across the board.
The bullock market continued its climb with several quality runs on offer.
The heifer job was firm to dearer.
Cattle were drawn from the local supply district including Roma, Injune and Morven as well as multiple lines of cattle from the west including Quilpie, Hungerford, Winton and Cunnamulla.
The selection and quality of cattle on offer once again solidified Roma Saleyards as the marketplace of choice.
The Seawright family offloaded a run of Santa Gertrudis steers and a pen of Angus cross steers for an average of 538c/kg to weigh 418kg for a return of $2,250/hd.
Based out of Tingun, three pens of the steers fetched a straight 540c/kg weighing in at 420kg for a return of $2,268/hd.
The line was consigned through PJH Livestock, pictured below with agents Ed Cross and Steven Goodhew.
DT and CU Batt offloaded a run of 122 Santa Gertrudis steers fetched an average 475c/kg weighing in at 542kg for a return of $2,573/hd.
Hailing from Longreach, three pens of Santa Gertrudis Steers sold for a straight 486c/kg to weigh 563kg to make $2,702/hd.
