CHARTERS TOWERS STORE CATTLE SALE MARKET REPORT – FRIDAY 5TH DECEMBER 2025
Charters Towers Combined Agents yarded a total of 4,401 Store cattle consisting of 1,647 Steers, 238 Mickeys, 2,341 Heifers and 175 Cows & Calves.
A wide range of Steers and Heifers were on offer. Heavier, better-finished types remained firm, supported by strong buyer competition. Younger and plainer cattle sold reasonably well when offered in consistent lines. However, mixed quality or mixed-type drafts met with varied demand and returned mixed results.
