Roma Sale Report 27th MAY

Numbers fell by 400 to 5,500 head of cattle at the Roma sale this week.

Overall quality was good with some exceptional locally bred lines of steers and heifers on offer, alongside a fair portion of cattle from the north west of the state.

The majority of competition for medium weight steers and heifers came from local orders however heavy feeder steers met solid demand from northern NSW.

Light weight restockers steers remained firm selling to 466.2c to average 432c, 280 to 330kg steers made to 480.2c to average 17c better at 433c and those steers 330 to 400 kg returning to the paddock improved by 27c, selling to 488.2c to average 408c/kg.

Medium weight feeder steers averaged 16c better at 391c while a pen of well bred British steers to feed over 400kg topped at 428.2c with most around 384c, up 26c/kg.

Restocker heifers 280 to 330kg followed a similar trend improving by 22c to a top of 368.2c to average 340c, medium weight heifers to feed sold to 368.2c to average 336c and good quality pregnancy tested empty feeder heifers over 400kg also made to a top of 368.2c averaging 317c/kg.

Heavy prime cattle saw significant improvements on previous weeks with southern export orders targeting well finished pens of young bullocks and heavy weight cows.
