AuctionsPlus commercial cattle sales results this week reflected the ongoing demand for proven breeding cattle, as seasonal conditions continue to see producers dig very deep for quality lines. For the young cattle market, an increased proportion of weaner steers out of central and western Queensland was met by steady demand, with overall excellent clearance rates for the week.
