00:00Today at Leangatha, what's your overall summation of how the sale went?
00:04Leangatha here today we yarded just on approximately 4,200 all told today.
00:11Prices generally firm to dearer. We had an exceptional run of feeder steers.
00:18I know just in our run alone I think we had about eight or nine hundred odd
00:21feedery odd cattle that ranged from 450 right up to 600 odd kilos.
00:26Heavier steers 580 to 600 kilos. Not that there was a great heap of those but
00:30they'd sort of make $3.30 to $3.35 to $3.40 in places.
00:34Once you come off those heavy cattle back into your 500 to 550 kilos you're
00:38anywhere from sort of $3.30 up to $3.40, $3.45.
00:42And the exceptional pen at $3.50 and $3.60.
00:46Like I say it was a really good yarding here today. Even sort of followed suit
00:49within the heifers. Heifers we had one vendor there today
00:53had 130 Angus heifers that we'd purchased
00:57out of the Braidwood District Cooma calf sales last year
01:01and I think they averaged about 420 or 330 kilos.
01:05Returned about $12.50 to $12.80 on average which is a tick over three bucks.
01:09So we thought that probably wasn't a bad
01:12result for today. All in all very good. Sales just about to
01:17finish up and nine o'clock starts of the day that's
01:20for sure. Thank you.
