BLACKALL CATTLE SALE MARKET REPORT – THURSDAY 9TH OCTOBER 2025
Blackall Combined Agents yarded 2,493 head of cattle at the Prime & Store Sale. The yarding this week was of a mixed quality with large amounts of high shouldered cattle throughout although, quality was highly sought after from a reduced buying panel. Heavy processor cattle held firm on most categories, with a softening in the heavy bull market with limited numbers of good heavy bulls offered. The store job remained firm to slightly dearer on the better end cattle on the back of consignments of quality well-bred weaners.
