Toogoolawah Store Sale 10/11/23
With some much-needed isolated falls of rain throughout the district Shepherdson and Boyd reported a reduced number of cattle for their fortnightly Toogoolawah Store Sale. 812 head of cattle were yarded with a very mixed quality yarding of steers, predominantly made up of light backgrounder cattle and limited feeders steers, as heavy cattle numbers continue to tighten. A larger number of heifers were yarded, highlighted by two top quality breeder lines of heifers up for offer as producers are forced to lighten off breeder numbers due to dry weather. Overall, the market showed signs of improvement with steer values increasing by $80 – $120 / head for all descriptions. Hiefers also showed improvements of $60-$100 / head as buyers begin to find confidence in some larger isolated falls of rain.
