CASINO AGENTS yarded a total of 1,229 head at the Northern Rivers Livestock Exchange regular prime sale on Wednesday 2 February. Young cattle were well supplied and cows made up the largest percentage of the grown cattle. The yarding of young cattle consisted mainly of well finished vealers and weaners, reflecting the good season being experienced in the area this year. There was also several runs of well bred cattle that were suitable for restockers and backgrounders. There were very few restocker cattle purchased to remain in the local area, with most going to Southern and Western areas of the State, and there was also a fair number of young cattle destined for Queensland. Cow prices were stronger this week averaging
Now the dust has settled on what we hope was an adventurous, relaxing and joyful Christmas break, we are well and truly back into the swing of things & so is the rural property market! Last week we negotiated two sales, and had contracts exchange for a third; meaning we are looking for more listings to service the growing list of buyers on our database! The first sale we negotiated was our first off-market sale of the year (hopefully one of many!) to a cash buyer from our database. Another was a sale for repeat vendors (we sold the block next door for them too), to a lovely buyer from Sydney. And the third sale was also for repeat vendors, to a repeat buyer. It’s a real privilege to represent & have the support of repeat clients particularly in this red hot market. If ever we can help with any of your real estate needs or queries, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
141 head of cattle yarded at Grafton last Tuesday. Bullocks sold to 398c/kg. Cow market remained fully firm to top at 375c/kg to average 360c/kg. All young cattle continued to improve with most weaner steers of all breeds selling from 560c/kg to 862c/kg. Weaner heifers sold to 780c/kg. Next Thursday the 10th February, we will host the next Special Store Cattle Sale commencing at 9am.
