00:08Yeah, I thought the market today was marginally stronger again.
00:11The yarding cattle that we had, like you said, just on 2000,
00:14there was only just, I think, only half a lane of crossbred cattle.
00:18The rest were all straightbred cattle, steers and heifers.
00:20So, yeah, good quality yarding of good store cattle, correct.
00:23I noticed that quite a few hereophants are brought forward today, more than usual.
00:27Yeah, more than usual. Today's a little bit of fueling market, traditional market.
00:33Last one in February, he sort of sets that sale up and, yeah,
00:37that's where a lot of those cattle come from, from that Yarram area.
00:41Okay, and price ways, what were we looking compared to last?
00:44I think from our fortnightly sale ago, I would say most of the market would be $0.10, $0.15
00:51better
00:52across the board on bigger cattle and right through on the small cattle.
00:57Some of the smaller cattle, maybe a little bit more.
00:59Campbell Ross, we're buying a bit for VLP.
01:01Who else were the main buyers today?
01:05VLP and feedlot buyers as well, all Avon Nibble and backgrounding blokes.
01:09We're buying those cattle, those good calves and that to tip out to get them.
01:13I suppose they're looking at, you know, what's going to happen through that winter trade.
01:17Is there going to be a shortage of cattle or not?
01:19And that's sort of where they're heading for at the moment, yeah.
