Young, lighter cattle attracted strong buyer demand at saleyards across New South Wales. At Tamworth, yearling steers weighing up to 330kg sold for A$1,800–A$2,000, while the Eastern Young Cattle Indicator averaged A$2,020 per head in November, up from A$1,639 at the start of September.
Strong demand for lighter cattle supports feeder-cattle prices and reflects buyers’ willingness to invest in animals for future growth. Higher purchase costs may raise restockers’ production costs, including the cost of finishing cattle.
