In terms of the market trends, Will Phillips from Elders Yea reported that the market trend was firm to dearer across all categories, light Angus heifers improving the most. Angus feeder steers 450 to 600 kilograms made 390 to 430c/kg. Lighter steers that went back to the paddock made 390 to 480c/kg, depending on quality.

Heifers weighted 350kg plus were 320 to 370c/kg, to feed or to join. Lighter heifers made 340 to 400c/kg for Angus and 290 to 330c/kg for colours. Cows and calves topped at $2080.
