00:00I thought the quality of the cattle here was a very good yarding.
00:03Certainly better than the previous monthly sale.
00:08I'm starting to see a lot of those spring drop calves coming forward
00:11and they sold very well.
00:12Very good South Giftsland competition.
00:16Especially on the heifers, I thought it took a bit of a lift today too.
00:19In terms of the heavy cattle, it wasn't a lot of heavy weights.
00:22The weight dropped off pretty quick.
00:24So there was probably six or eight pens of cattle.
00:27That was some 640 kilos down to about 520.
00:30And then you dropped away pretty quick in the front lane.
00:33But VLP, Jane Earth Feedlot were active and kept that heavier end right up to par.
00:41And then you sort of dropped back down into your spring drop calf weights
00:46from 350 kilos back down to 250.
00:50And they sold very, very well.
00:51A lot of those lighter calves, high five to low $6 a kilo.
00:57So that was a very good gallery of buyers here.
01:01And as I said, cattle went pretty well everywhere.
01:04But there was a lot of South Giftsland support here today
01:07and a lot of cattle going back that way.
01:09If it was, how did that go?
01:10There's a fair bit of spirited competition on some of those early pens.
01:13Yeah, there certainly was.
01:15I thought that heifer job was very good.
01:17Both cattle heifers here today purchased, you know, to go back to adjoining program
01:23and sort of a premium close to $5.
01:26Those sort of adjoinable heifers, the best of them.
01:29And, you know, back into those lighter spring drop calves, once again,
01:32you know, they were very solid, you know, in the mid to high fours.
01:35The best of them probably touching $5 or a bit better on the few exceptional pens.
