Gracemere Market Report 14/12/2022
GRACEMERE CATTLE SALE WEDNESDAY 14TH DECEMBER 2022
For the final sale of 2022, CQLX Combined Agents saw a small increase in yarding of 1,823 head yesterday, comprising of 963 Steers, 739 Heifers, 71 Cows, 29 Cows & Calves and 21 Bulls. Cattle were again drawn from Collinsville & Mt Coolon in the North, and all other local regions. Having two processors not operating this week, and with lower prime cattle numbers, we still saw increases of up to 13c/kg in the prime cow market off last weeks rates. Quality was mixed throughout the store cattle markets, which reflected in some prices with the better-quality types and lines of cattle still meeting with strong competition.
