MARKET HIGHLIGHTS - TUESDAY, 19 MAY 2026
Wet conditions at the Roma Saleyards following good rain didn’t slow down the action at this week’s sale, with active bidding coming from the laneways as the regular buyers, feedlotters and backgrounders competed for the quality yarding.
There were just over 6,500 head of cattle penned to go under the hammer, and the selection of them once again solidified the Roma Saleyards as the marketplace of choice.
Cattle were consigned from across Queensland, travelling from many areas throughout the western regions including Adavale, Aramac, Augathella, Barcaldine, Blackall, Longreach, Thargomindah and Winton.
The yarding was also drawn from Chinchilla, Dulacca and Drillham in the east and from Bollon and St George in the south.
Across the Maranoa supply district cattle came from areas such as Injune, Jackson, Muckadilla, Roma, Surat, Wallumbilla and Yuleba to go to market.
