Stock Report: April 19

By Stuart Sheldrake.

THERE were fewer cattle yarded today, only 950.

There were a few cows penned, but no bullocks to quote on.

Cows were cheaper by 10 cents, however the trade market was a fraction stronger on last week.

There was a mixed yard in the trade market, but fewer weaners, probably because there will be a weaner sale on Thursday.

Weaners sold 4 to 5 cents dearer, there was a bit more activity amongst the buyers.

Yearling cattle were also a fraction stronger and secondary cattle were stronger.

A mixed yarding overall in quality.
