There were 2250 steers, 1100 heifers, 30 cows and calves and 25 springers yarded in a mixed quality yarding which once again including a large number of cattle from East Gippsland.
Overall the market was easier for most grades of cattle but there was some exceptional pens of quality Angus weaner and grown steers that sold to equal rates to the pre Christmas sales.
There were a couple of the regular feedlot buyers operating but at reduced rates and with minimal outside buyer interest most of the cattle found new homes in South Gippsland .
