BLACKALL CATTLE SALE MARKET REPORT – THURSDAY 26TH JUNE 2025
Blackall Combined Agents yarded a total of 4,169 cattle for the June Weaner & Store Sale. The quality of the yarding was of a very high standard with big runs of NO. 5 weaner cattle and heavy feeders. The market fluctuated throughout the day with very strong competition on the better-quality lines of cattle from local backgrounders and feedlots. With plenty of weight on offer through the yarding vendors experienced solid dollars per head return on their sales. Prime cattle rounded out the market and sold to a cheaper trend due to a limited number of good heavy processor cattle. All normal processors were in attendance and operating.
