Cattle Market Report

Despite heavy rain 460 cattle were sold at Ian Weir & Sons' Lismore Saleyards on Tuesday 1st July.  Except for a few good cows and excellent lines of weaner steers it was a typical winter yarding with the majority of cattle in store condition.

The few heavy prime cows on offer sold from $2.70 to $2.80 per kilo.  Paul and Helen McInnes' Charolais cows sold at $2.74 for a return of $1,919.  Jeff Greber's Charolais cross cow sold at $2.78 for a return of $1,863.  Secondary cows ranged from $2.30 to $2.60 per kilo.  Cows light in condition ranged from $1.50 to $2.30 per kilo depending on age and potential.

Weaner steers were cheaper than the good Lismore sale of 2 weeks ago, but a few lines of good quality Charolais x Santa bucked the trend.  Gary and Maria Tully's line sold at $4.02 per kilo for returns of $1,181.  The Linton's Charolais cross fetched $1,182.  Nowland Trading's good Angus steers sold at $4.06 per kilo for returns of $853.  There were a lot of lighter steers that will take a bit of time and feed to get going that ranged from $2.30 to $3.30 per kilo.

Heifer buyers were very selective with the better lines ranges from $3.20 to $3.62 per kilo.  The Rucker family's Limousins topping at $3.62 per kilo.  Off quality and lightweights ranged from $1.80 to $2.70 per kilo.
