TUESDAY, 9 DECEMBER
Last Tuesday, 16 December and the first sale of the year will take place on Tuesday, 13 January 2026.
With the year coming to an end we are still seeing quality numbers of cattle.

Yearling heifers topping at 454c/kg. Another large yarding of cows, the kill job has soften slightly with abattoirs slowing down for the end of the year.
The best of the cows making 410c/kg and bulls making 405c/kg. Overall, a solid market in Roma.
Just under 10,000 head of cattle were consigned through Roma Saleyards for the second last sale of 2025.
The mixed quality yarding and big numbers did not stop the market from holding strong with prices firm across the day.
Al the regular processors, feedlotters and backgrounders were present and actively bidding amongst the heat of the laneways.
A large proportion of cattle were drawn from northern and western regions including Quilpie, Longreach, Augathella, Muttaburra and Tambo as well as from the local supply district including Mitchell, Morven, Injune and St George.
The selection and quality of cattle on offer once again solidified Roma Saleyards as the marketplace of choice.
