Quality at CQ markets

The Central Queensland livestock markets got a work out this week with both Emerald and Rockhampton lining up significant numbers of store cattle. Close to 9000 head were marketed between the two centres. With a difficult season across most of central Queensland the market showed resilience and restockers happy to secure replacements when these better lines hit the market. Emerald's quality yarding had feeder steers to a top of 294c/kg liveweight and medium weights (258kg-350kg) to a top of 309c to average close on 270c. Feeder heifers sold to a top of 250c and weaner heifers to 230c.
