Gracemere Sale Market Report

September 3, 2010
CQLX Agents yarded 2510 head at the weekly Gracemere Cattle Sale thanks to fine weather for the first time in some weeks. The yarding comprised 1158 Steers, 999 heifers, 298 cows, 32 cows and calves and 23 bulls. Competition was good for all descriptions with the top lines of quality euro and cross bred heifers and steers selling very well. However plainer and mixed quality lines struggled to hold previous week’s rates.
