Mt Pleasant cows, CAF sell to $2200

Nutrien Ag Solutions Fawcett Livestock's Colin Fawcett said numbers were reasonable but it was difficult to source bigger lines.

"People in the area are down to core numbers, plus they realise that once the season breaks, it's only going to go one way," he said.

Mr Fawcett said there was a large field of registered buyers.

"It was pretty evident feedlotters were searching for anything with a bit of weight," he said.
