Cattle Market Trends in Moreton
Agents Boyd O'Brien Bartholomew yarded 565 head of cattle at the Moreton saleyards on Tuesday, October 21.
A smaller yarding of export cattle was reported, with cows selling to strong rates and heavy steers and ox selling to a slightly dearer market.
- Light and heavy bulls sold in line with last week's rates.
- Feeder steers and heifers met a slightly cheaper market due to limited numbers.
- Yearlings and weaners saw competition from a full panel of buyers, with most returning to the paddock.
