Roma Store Sale

TUESDAY, 10 FEBRUARY

With the talk of rain on the horizon the cattle market responded with higher and firm trends across the board.

Cattle were drawn from the Maranoa and Western Downs districts as well as Northern Queensland and Western New South Wales.

Quality cattle sold dearer whilst secondary quality cattle held ground.

Under an overcast sky, cattle numbers surged at this week’s sale with just over 8,400 head of cattle penned, once again solidifying the Roma Saleyards as being the marketplace of choice.

This week’s larger yarding saw an increase of over 1,600 head of cattle recorded on last week’s sale.

The regular buyers, feedlotters and backgrounders were present, competing for the yarding which hailed from near and far.

A large portion of cattle were drawn from the local Maranoa supply district including Amby, Injune, Mitchell, Muckadilla, Roma and Wallumbilla.

The yarding also included consignments from Taroom and Dulacca, as well as from the western regions of Charleville, Isisford, Longreach and Tambo, and from further south, from Condoblin in New South Wales.

Stephen David Dickson of ‘Waipiro’, Wallumbilla, sold a pen of Droughtmaster steers, selling to 510c/kg, for an average weight of 310kg to receive a return of $1,586/hd.
