Scone Stock Report: August 30

By Stuart Sheldrake

There was 1034 cattle yarded in a yarding that saw very few export cattle with the majority of penning being fat cattle and plain and lightweight waeaners feeling the effects of winter.

The cow market was fully firm on last weeks quotes.

There was a sprinkling of heavy steers weighing over 500 kilos which sold to 10 cents dearer.

A large portion of the yarding was well finished cattle and those cattle sold to firm rates with heifers 4 to 5 cents cheaper.

Weaner cattle sold from firm to 10 cents easier for cattle 180 to 220 kilos, anything above these rates were fully firm.

Very few feeder cattle were on offer and what was on offer sold to firm rates.

Overall the market was firm and slightly easier on a couple of quotes.
