# High rates and tight weights: inside Wodonga's surging store sale

> Light store cattle at Wodonga sold for high cents-per-kilogram rates, with one lot of 269kg calves making $1930 (about $7.17/kg). Buyers with a fixed dollar budget are purchasing lighter animals, which lifts the per-kilogram price. Restocker demand may ease into summer depending on numbers and seasonal conditions.

## Why it matters

Strong restocker demand and high store-cattle prices point to firm cattle values in southern Australia, but the effect on global feed demand is minor and does not clearly move US feeder futures.
