Similar number on offer to last week with an 84% clearance. More buyers needed to bring this closer to 100% clearance. Smaller entry of dry cows compared to last week. Strong demand for store cattle and weanling bulls with a near complete clearance in those categories. Cattle are sold within three hours of entry resulting in better prices due less weight loss, before sale.
