Stock Report: Mar 29

By Stuart Sheldrake

YESTERDAY there was a yarding of 1181 cattle at the Scone sale yards.

Zac Eade, auctioneer for Elders at Scone sales.

There were very few export cattle penned and only one bull offered, which made $2.15 a kilo.

Cows sold 4 to 5 cents cheaper, with not many cows penned.

The majority of the yarding were weaners and they also sold to a cheaper trend, probably 8 to 10 cents.

The softer market is due to waiting for a shower of rain, but we still have a strong market.

If we get rain in April thee market will be even stronger.

Secondary cattle also sold to a softer trend probably 10 to 12 cents cheaper.

April 21: There will be a weaner sale and producers are encouraged to get their entries into their agents.
