00:00 So Daniel today at Yaroa steer sale. Price wise how was it compared to previous sales at this centre?
00:06 Look a terrific run of cattle here today. 3300. I would say it'd be one of the best yardings I've
00:13 yarded in many years. Very solid sale from the start. A good run of those four to five
00:19 hundred kilo feeder steers that attracted sustained bidding from predominantly TFI and JNF.
00:24 Turned the corner onto the weaner calves. Wasn't a heap of weight in the top end of the calves.
00:30 Majority of the calves here weighing from 280 to 330 or 40 kilos. Once again very strong demand
00:37 from the feedlot sector and Gippsland were our main buyers. Majority of those calves were making
00:43 in that $1100 to $1300 bracket with the odd pair of calves going a bit higher. So about $100 a head
00:49 off you reckon? Comfortably $100 but I think quality would drive most of that. As I said I
00:54 don't think you'll find much better yarding a cattle than what we saw here today particularly
00:57 in the black runs.
