Listings in the AuctionsPlus commercial cattle sales fell to 4,335 head this week due to the Easter disrupted shorter week. Accurate comparisons to last week’s market reports are near impossible and results should be considered in the context of low numbers. Users will have to wait until the weeks following the Easter break to see if the recent rebound in prices can be sustained. The wet and wild weather forecast for the weekend could hinder a few holiday plans, but also improve the likelihood of a good Autumn break. How that influences restocker demand and the flow of available cattle to market after the long weekend will heavily influence the direction of prices from here.
