Grant Daniel Long Report

A very large yarding of 9009 head was offered at Dalby.  The market held firm on the previous week for heavy slaughter cattle, with heavy kill heifers reaching 390c/kg & heavy kill cows topping at 370c/kg. Quality heavy feeder cattle remained firm, while secondary lines eased.  Well-bred weaners sold to strong demand; however, secondary & plainer types were difficult.
