AuctionsPlus commercial cattle sales this week continued to see a steady rise in offerings, with the first signs of some buyer caution evident through the young steer lines, with prices softer and clearance rates below late 2021 levels for the second consecutive week. With 17,262 head offered across the three main commercial sales this week, PTIC heifers continued to be the largest single category, with 2,540 head offered, followed by 330-400kg steers, with 2,318 head.
