Gracemere Combined Agents saw an increased yarding of 2,980 head this week consisting of 1,480 Steers, 1,073 Heifers, 380 Cows, 25 Cows & Calves and 22 Bulls. Cattle were drawn from Bowen in the North, South to Gympie, out to Clermont and all local areas in between. Having good quality lines of bullocks and cows offered, we saw very strong competition throughout the prime market. This strong competition carried onto the Weaner Steer & Heifer Markets, to which agents saw the good quality lines of cattle offered continue and significant increases across both markets.
