MARKET HIGHLIGHTS - TUESDAY, 30 JUNE 2026
As bids arose from the laneways of the Roma Saleyards at this week’s sale, the regular buyers, feedlotters and backgrounders competed for the yarding which saw firm prices reflected across many pens of quality cattle.
Sale numbers were on the rise this week, with an offering of over 8,400 head penned to go under the hammer.
Cattle were drawn from many areas throughout the Maranoa supply district including Injune, Jackson, Mungallala, Roma, Surat and Yuleba.
In addition to this, across Queensland consignments travelled from Cloncurry, Kajabbi and McKinlay in the north, from Augathella, Ilfracombe, Longreach and Winton in the west and from Chinchilla, Drillham and Dulacca in the east.
Cattle also travelled from as far afield as Tibooburra in New South Wales to go to market.
The quality and selection of the yarding solidified the Roma Saleyards as the marketplace of choice.
