Yarding: 1410
It was a good quality yarding with a top selection of quality weaners along with some good PTIC cows and there were a few pens of quality cows and calves.
Dispersed in the yarding was the Wyana Pastoral Company’s Charolais herd from Mendooran which consisted of their Charolais steer and heifer weaners and their top quality PTIC Charolais cows.
There was a good crowd on hand and all sections sold at fully firm to dearer rates.
The steer weaners sold from $710 for very young and light crossbred calves to $1,780/head for a pen of the Mendooran Charolais steers.
