It was another very tough trading week for the national cattle market, both online and through physical markets, with prices easing further. For online activity, the combination of the winter doldrums, rising production costs and waning sentiment continued to keep both buyers and vendors on the side lines. With a total of 12,387 head offered, AuctionsPlus commercial cattle offerings were back 3% on last week, with significant price declines across the young steer lines and proven breeders.
