Blackall cattle sale market jumps

Late rain received had an impact on the final numbers offered with the yarding dropping back from the original 7000 head advertised.

Cattle were sourced locally from Blackall, Aramac, Longreach, Winton and Jericho.

GDL Blackall's Cody Trost said the prices were firm to slightly dearer with local re-stockers back in the market.

"It was a good quality yarding of feeder steers which had a 5 cent rise from the previous week," he said.

"We had good runs of genuine quality weaners that the region can breed, who were straight off their mothers.

"The district is having a good season, and producers were keen to secure cattle for the grass they have available."

He said the reason for the market lift was due to the very good quality offered.

"The Hauff family, who are renowned Hereford breeders in the district offered feeder steers for 356.2c at 476kg to return $1695/hd, making the best feeder money on the day," he said.
