GRACEMERE CATTLE SALE WEDNESDAY 6th December 2023
This week CQLX Combined Agents welcomed the biggest yarding seen in 5 months with a total yarding of 3,883 head, consisting of 2,070 Steers, 1,411 Heifers, 276 Cows, 104 Cows & Calves & 22 Bulls. Prices remained fairly consistent on last week, with a slight ease in some categories. We were met with our familiar buying panel, with some new purchases amongst the crowd and our 3 processors were on the grounds. This week saw cattle come from as far North as Ayr and Proserpine, South to Calliope and the Boyne Valley, with some big runs from Collinsville, Nebo, Ubobo, Capella, Marlborough, Biloela, and all other cattle from local areas throughout CQ.
