Gracemere Market Report 3/7/2024
GRACEMERE CATTLE SALE WEDNESDAY 3RD JULY 2024
This week Gracemere combined agents yarded a total of 566 head consisting of 322 Steers, 203 Heifers, 37 Cows, 2 Bulls and 2 Cows and Calves. Local rainfall and wet conditions made for reduced yarding following the Weaner & Feeder Sale at the start of this week. Steers and heifers eased slightly this week however, the cow market was stronger this week. Considering the low number of head presented for sale and a mixed yarding of cattle, the market held up reasonably well and held firm on last week.
