GRACEMERE CATTLE SALE WEDNESDAY 17TH JULY 2024
This week Gracemere combined agents yarded a total of 2,450 head consisting of 1,266 Steers, 798 Heifers, 351 Cows, 31 Bulls and 4 Cows and Calves. Cattle were drawn from Bowen in the North, South to Calliope, out to Middlemount and all local areas in between. As there were good quality lines of cattle on offer, competition was strong, which saw an increase of 23c/kg across the board. This gives confidence in our future cattle markets.
