Gracemere Market Report 19/10/2022
GRACEMERE CATTLE SALE WEDNESDAY 19TH OCTOBER 2022
With some good rain throughout the region, CQLX Combined Agents saw a slightly smaller yarding yesterday with 3,027 head offered, comprising of 1,443 Steers, 1,157 Heifers, 339 Cows, 43 Cows & Calves and 45 Bulls. Cattle were drawn from the usual areas north to Collinsville, Mount Coolon and Bowen, west to Clermont and Moura and most local districts. For the most part, the quality was good, although still having mixed quality and conditioned cattle throughout the yarding in all categories. With a couple of processors and restockers not active this week seen most classes hold firm or soften slightly. The better-quality lines of cattle still met with very strong competition right throughout the market.
