Gracemere Market Report 29/09/2021
GRACEMERE CATTLE SALE WEDNESDAY 29th SEPTEMBER 2021
CQLX Gracemere agents saw a decreased yarding of 3,288 head this week. Cattle were drawn from the north to Collinsville and the usual local areas. Although the quality was good overall, it was a mixed yarding which showed the first drop in the condition seen for some time. Competition for finished cattle came from the normal processors who were all keen to buy. Feeders were unchanged and restockers included a couple of new buyers along with the regular panel.
