MARKET HIGHLIGHTS - TUESDAY, 2 JUNE 2026
Numbers held firm at 8,300 head at Roma this week, including 1,900 cows.
Cattle were drawn locally, along with good-quality lines from the northwest.
Quality remained solid overall. Most categories of restocker steers were firm to slightly easier, while heavy feeders improved by 5c and grown steers to processors held firm.
Light weight restocker steers sold to 618.2c/kg.
Western orders pushed prices for steers 280 to 330kg up to 588.2c/kg.
Quality British heifers under 200kg saw solid competition from southern Queensland and northern NSW selling to 524.2c/kg.
There are consistently numerous, high-quality consignments that go under the hammer at the Roma Saleyards’ Tuesday cattle sale and this week was no exception, with many good runs of cattle available.
The regular buyers, backgrounders and feedlotters were among the busy laneways competing for the quality offering which, similar to last week, consisted of over 8,000 head.
The yarding was drawn from the Maranoa supply district including the areas of Injune, Mitchell, Roma and Wallumbilla.
Consignments travelled from further across Queensland to go to market, from Aramac, Adavale, Barcaldine, Boulia, Tambo and Winton in the west and from as far afield as McKinlay and Torrens Creek in the north.
The selection and quality of the cattle on offer at this week’s sale again solidified the Roma Saleyards as the marketplace of choice.
