Targeted, measured and deliberate. The marketing of feedlot ready cattle is bringing a smile to many AuctionsPlus vendors this week, as the shortage of well finished steers continues to drive the Australian cattle market to all-time highs. The best 400kg plus feeder steer lines this week through Australia’s largest cattle selling platform closed in on $2,400/head, with live weight returns easily exceeding the 500c/kg barrier.
