MARKET HIGHLIGHTS - TUESDAY, 21 JULY 2026
Off the back of last week’s mammoth yarding, numbers continued to skyrocket at the Roma Saleyards this week, further solidifying the facility as the marketplace of choice.
It was a busy day filled with busy laneways as buyers, feedlotters and backgrounders competed for the offering of 11,000 head.
As normal, cattle travelled from near and far to go under the hammer at the Roma Saleyards.
Throughout the local Maranoa supply district consignments were drawn from Injune, Mitchell, Roma and Yuleba.
Cattle travelled from Condamine, Drillham, Miles, Taroom and Wandoan in the east, from Augathella, Charleville, Cunnamulla, Innamincka, Quilpie, Tambo and Winton in the west and from McKinlay in the north to go to market.
