SA Livestock Exchange calf sale - May 25
A SMALLER yarding that once again featured some well-bred pastoral calves sold to strong competition.
A large gallery of agents, feeders and restockers were keen to secure numbers and prices for lightweight calves in particular escalated into unchartered territory.
Buyers from Murray Bridge, Adelaide Hills, Mid North and Yorke Peninsula were the most prominent amongst the bidders and prices lifted another $30 on recent very strong sales.
Butchers had limited opportunities, however JK Rowe, Lower Light, offered 3 heavyweight Murray Grey heifers that sold to butchers up to $805 to average $741.76/hd.
Quotations: Bobbies $15-$130, Light $180-$430, Medium $450-$550, Heavy $550-$800.
