Gracemere Market Report 08/12/2021
GRACEMERE CATTLE SALE WEDNESDAY 08th DECEMBER 2021
After some much needed rain, CQLX Gracemere Agents saw an increased yarding of 4,747 head yesterday. Cattle were drawn from Townsville in the north, Clermont in the West, Miriam Vale in the South and the usual local areas. With good quality lines of cattle on hand that met with very strong competition right throughout. The usual processors were all present and operating, along with strong panels of southern restocker buyers, Yearling and Weaner cattle saw average increasers of up to 30c/kg and heavy feeders were up 20c/kg on last week’s strong sale. Next week’s sale will be our last for the year.
