00:00Strong processor demand drove prices higher at Dubbo's first goat sale for 2025, though

00:07seasonal conditions will be a key factor shaping the market in the months ahead. Australian

00:12bush goat yearling does made up the bulk of the 4,969 head yarding, and goats were drawn

00:17from as far as Walgurt, Condobolin, Mullally, Trangie and Collie. Auslan Agency's agent,

00:23Cleve Auslan, said it was one of the bigger yardings Dubbo had seen for quite some time.

00:28He thought it was a good sale, with even off-type, in-store conditioned goats selling much better

00:32than expected. The market hit a top of $138 for a pan of 10 ball weathers, and Thomas

00:38Foods International was a notable buyer active across the market. As to whether prices will

00:44hold or soften during 2025, Mr Auslan said it would depend on the season.
