Most of the usual buying group was present but not all operated fully in a cheaper market. There was a limited selection of young cattle suitable for the trade, however they were mostly secondary slaughter types and sold to little competition. Grown steers and bullocks were in short supply and sold to firm demand with averages recorded between 2c dearer and 2c/kg easier. Cows made up almost half of the yarding and soft competition pulled prices back 5c to 7c/kg on most sales although the poorest medium and heavy weight E muscle drafts sold to firm demand. There were similar results in the heavy bulls with beef
All the staff at Elders Korumburra and Leongatha would like to wish all clients a Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year. We thank you for your business and we look forward to the service and success in 2014. Best Wishes. KORUMBURRA
