Listings for AuctionsPlus weekly commercial cattle sales were resilient this week against the backdrop of logistical disruptions due to flooding and road closures. Total listings increased 12% on last week, with 15,187 head offered.
Numbers out of Queensland made up for lost time during a clear week, with a 17% increase, while NSW cattle stayed home, constrained by waterlogged paddocks.
While there were plenty of twists-and-turns in this week’s AuctionsPlus commercial cattle sales, final results for the week were generally higher, seeing young heifer lines regaining most of last week’s slippage.
Underpinned by another amazing week of bull sale results, producer confidence for the remainder of 2022 seems to be rising with the day-time temperatures.
