BLACKALL CATTLE SALE MARKET REPORT – THURSDAY 18TH JUNE 2026
Blackall combined agents yarded 1,471 head at their weekly fat and store sale.
The quality of the yarding was mixed. Processor support was reduced with two major processors either not operating or operating at reduced rates. The absence of one major southern processor was acutely felt. Feeder and store cattle were of mixed quality with well presented lines of course attracting the premium.
