CQLX Combined Agents saw a reduced yarding of 1,570 head this week, consisting of 782 Steers, 527 Heifers, 190 Cows, 50 Cows & Calves & 21 Bulls. This week saw our regular panel of buyers and meatworks buyers which led to strong competition across most categories. We saw Weaner Steers jump 50 cents on last week, Weaner Heifers jump by 20 or more and feeder weight Steers and Heifers come up in price as well. This week’s sale saw cattle from Mt Coolon, St Lawrence, Stanage Bay, Nebo, Comet, Biloela, Emu Park, Calliope, Boyne Valley and all other local areas in between.
