SA Livestock Exchange Calf sale - July 27

Agents from the Mid North and Adelaide Plains were prominent, however one feeder from Tumby Bay added the impetus to send prices into unseen territory.

Vealers were non-existent, the extreme prices paid for store condition calves was due to the urge for feeder replacement stock and the confidence that high beef prices will continue into the foreseeable future.

GE Rohrlach, Waikerie, sold four mediumweight, Angus heifers to $525, to average $485.

Quotations: Bobbies $15-$130, Light $230-$500, Medium $500-$600, Heavy $600-$800.
