00:00There's quite a few big grafts today at Lee and Gaffer, what do you put that down to?

00:04It's the time of the year, like a lot of people now, it's got to be dry and the time of the year to

00:09move a few cattle on and then turn around and replace those cattle as we move into the later

00:15part of the summer and early part of the autumn and get them set again for the winter time.

00:21Winter sales pretty much done except for Mallorat, first of the store sales,

00:25how is it looking, how do they compare to the end of the year?

00:28The market on the grown cattle day was a bit cheaper, not a lot but a lot, it was an excellent

00:33yarding of cattle, you'd go a long way to find a yarding as good of grown cattle and those cattle

00:40were probably 10 to 20 cents easier than where they'd been in previous weeks but the weight

00:46will give us the dollars and make them turn out alright in the end. The better part of the calves,

00:53I thought they sold quite well, they're still selling for their money and our people are quite

00:58happy with them. Mayors today, who was the main buyers? Mainly on your grown cattle, your feedlot

01:03buyers with a strengthening net, once again with a few grass fatteners, just buying a few,

01:09on your calves from all those local mates and the repeat buyers coming back

01:13to grow those cattle out for that feeder weight cattle in a whole bunch of time.
