GRACEMERE CATTLE SALE Wednesday 03rd March 2021
CQLX Gracemere combined agents had a decreased yarding of 4269 head today, comprising of 2100 steers, 1630 heifers, 332 cows and 114 bulls. Cattle came from as far south to Gin Gin, as far north as Nebo and most local areas. Quality and condition were good across most sections with several well-bred lines on offer. Competition came from normal processors although there was one from last week not present. Feedlot restockers were also well represented with best bred lines selling strongly and some plain description a little lesser.
