00:00The winter sales sold exceptionally well, but with the season the way it is you get some back into a

00:05normal weekly or monthly store sale around the places and it'll probably look to be a cheaper

00:09trend over the next few weeks. Just with the lack of feed around and probably the quality of cattle

00:14that we've seen over the last few weeks, the annual drafts and the big lines and everything

00:17we've sort of seen, it'll probably start to come back a bit. But that's only due to seasonal

00:21conditions in my opinion and feedlots are filling up. There's a lot of cattle around and a lot of

00:25cattle have been sold, so with limited room it becomes a bit of a limited price unfortunately.

00:30Price-wise how would you rate it? Look it was certainly cheaper, I'd probably quote anywhere

00:34from 10 to 20 to 30 cents in places and on the smaller lots and a few odd cattle. But if you had

00:40a good line on a pen lot it was probably 10 to 20 cents cheaper overall, with cattle still making

00:44decent dollars per head, but certainly not the cents per kilo rate that we've have seen in the

00:48last few weeks.
