Turnout slightly down on previous week. All lots met with a solid trade. There was very strong trade for store heifers and weanling heifers again this week with a complete clearance in both categories. The plain store bullocks were harder sold. Cattle weigh in well here on their way to the ring due to the short wait-time. Check out last week’s trade on our Facebook page.
