The national young cattle market lost a little bit of its edge this week, with online prices across most steer categories falling, whilst the EYCI slipped back to under 880c/kg cwt. The 13% decline in overall online offerings, to 17,946 head, failed to halt the price declines this week, with the recent run of drier weeks reportedly starting to be reflect in buyer confidence and vendors reserve levels.
