00:00So how did today's monthly Ballarat store sale go do you think Declan?

00:04All over I'm pretty happy with the results today, probably could be a touch cheaper in

00:08places on some sales but still really heavy steers making sort of $3.60 to $3.70 a kilo

00:15and weaners making in and around $4 and same on the heifers probably could be a touch better

00:19in places.

00:22The heavier heifers sort of $3 to $3.20 a kilo and a lot of the weaners sort of $3.40

00:28to $3.50.

00:29So look it probably just come off on some of those lighter cattle might have been a touch

00:32cheaper in places but as I said it's pretty good overall we're pretty happy with the result.

00:37The heavens opened as the sales started what sort of impact do you think that will have?

00:42If we do get a bit of continued rain especially down here we're going to have a lot more people

00:45probably step into livestock which will probably be a pretty significant improvement for our

00:50markets going forward but as I say it's probably one of those things we need to keep getting

00:54a little bit more but this was certainly a very very good start.
