Pinjarra Shorthorns hit 270c/kg
Westcoast Livestock reports that agents yarded a total of 2972 cattle at the Muchea Selling Centre, including 355 calves sold by
appraisal.
Increased numbers of pastoral cattle saw the total yarding up 452 from last week. As a result competition was more selective.
Local Trade cattle remained fully equal on recent quotes while killable pastoral heifers lifted 5-6c/kg selling to a 184c/kg top.
Lightweight steers for the paddock sold to strong competition, peaking at 270c/kg while heifers made up to 219c/kg.
Prices for cows eased on subdued competition from all processors. Heavy slaughter cows sold to a top of 176c/kg, back 15c/kg,
while medium weight cows eased 10-12c/kg. Heavy slaughter bulls were back 20-25c/kg selling mostly in the 160-170c/kg range.
