GRAFTON FAT CATTLE SALE 20/06.2023

325 TOTAL HEAD YARDED 140 EXPORTED 185 YOUNG CATTLE

Numbers were back for Grafton’s fortnightly Fat Cattle Sale, most categories saw a good representation. There was only one processor operating on Bullocks while Cows saw improved competition and a small rise in price. Restockers were very selective with their purchases, which saw the good quality Angus type Steers sell solid. However, Heifers and mixed breeds were very hard to shift.
