GRACEMERE CATTLE SALE FRIDAY 16th FEBRUARY 2024
The Gracemere Combined Agents saw an increase in numbers this week with a total yarding of 3,862 head, consisting of 1,946 Steers, 1,405 Heifers, 346 Cows, 135 Cows & Calves/PTIC Heifers & 30 Bulls. Cattle were drawn from Collinsville, Giru, Eungella, Sarina in the North and all local areas. There was good competition on processor and feedlot cattle. Overall the market eased in accordance with other centres in Queensland. However, with the good widespread rain throughout Central Queensland, we should see buyer’s confidence over coming weeks.
