Charters Towers combined agents yarded a total of 2,873 Prime Cattle. Consisting of 382 Bullocks, 568 Heifers, 1,781 Cows & 142 Bulls.

Cattle comprised of large runs of northern pastoral type Cows and a good line of Heifers from the local area. The remainder of the yarding was mixed but generally in good condition. Heavy, well finished pens continued to sell well, however the majority of the Cows were showing the effects of the changing season and sold to a cheaper trend as a result.
