GRACEMERE CATTLE SALE WEDNESDAY 26TH OCTOBER 2022
With the continuing good rain falls throughout the region this week, CQLX Combined Agents saw a reduced yarding today with 732 head offered, comprising of 419 Steers, 237 Heifers, 61 Cows, 2 Cows & Calves and 13 Bulls. Cattle were drawn from all local areas, North to Nebo & Clermont as well as coastal areas surrounding Mackay. Having a reduced yarding saw a smaller buyer’s panel on hand with prices easing slightly across the board, however the better-quality cattle are still meeting with strong competition.
