On the back of some larger physical yardings this week, a total of 19,261 head was offered across AuctionsPlus commercial cattle sales – up 2% on the previous week. As has been the case for several weeks, the main feature of the national cattle market has been the absence of any clear direction or trend, as clearance rates at the immediate closure of the auctions remain subdued. Young, light heifers this week were up, while the young steer market was uneventful, even with 6,000 head offered through the three main weight lines.
