Elders Ballarat livestock manager Nick Gray gives a roundup on the sale.
Transcript
00:00You're talking about the top end of the steers, there was a pen of steers, sort of 600 plus kilos.
00:04They came back in, I think, at $4.98.5 or something, so you may as well say $5.
00:10And then, yeah, as the weight come back, the train built and we rolled on from there.
00:15And a lot of those sort of middleweight cattle make it mid-fives, even on the higher end of the $5 mark.
00:21And again, as the weight drop, the sense of kilo comes up, we're into $6.
00:25And then a lot of those lighter weight black steers making $6.50s and $6.60s.
00:30And then you get right down to the little well-bred black steers up to sort of $6.85.
00:34We didn't get to $7, but we were well on the run to it.
00:38A little bit of a change in dynamics.
00:40There was a fair few of these cattle sort of staying in Victoria.
00:42I wouldn't necessarily say exactly local to Ballarat, but they're Gippsland.
00:45And it was a really interesting spread of buyers and sort of into the southwest and even just over the border into South Australia.
00:53I wouldn't have said that there was a volume buyer as such here, but we saw a lot of agents from a lot of different areas in Victoria and in the South Australia sort of operating today.
01:05So that's, yeah, a bit of a different dynamic than what we've seen with all these cattle going north.
