The market responded to quality presented by the lightweight weaners.
Almost 2800 cows penned this week selling to a stronger trend.
Cows and calves $2,300/head to $3375/head.
A mammoth yarding of just over 11,000 head of cattle did not slow down the competitive buyers’ market at the Roma Saleyards, with bumper prices continuing.
With steers and heifers making up most of the yarding, some categories of steers were up by 20–30 cents on last week’s sale.
All the regular processors, feedlotters, and backgrounders were present and actively bidding on the diverse selection of cattle on offer.
The firm market, quality and reach of cattle yarded once again solidified Roma Saleyards as the marketplace of choice.
The local Maranoa supply district including Mitchell and Wallumbilla made up a significant portion of the yarding as well as the western districts including Charleville and Quilpie.
Multiple runs of cattle were also consigned from as far north as Julia Creek, Boulia and Mount isa and as far south as Manilla and Lightning Ridge, NSW.
Redman Pastoral Company, ‘Wattamolla’ offloaded a quality run of Angus steers and Santa Gertrudis cross steers to average 520c/kg weighing an average 283kg for a return of $1,474/hd.
