00:00 - Well, Angelee, today at YAY, about 2000 head,
00:04 you've had those two very big sales
00:06 in the last couple of weeks.
00:07 So I suppose quite a few broken bins,
00:09 but still the competition wasn't too bad, was it?
00:12 - Yeah, it was.
00:13 Thanks, Andrew.
00:14 Competition was very good here today.
00:16 As you said, both firms have just recently,
00:19 both Nutrient and ourselves Elders
00:21 have had our feature store sales for this time of year.
00:24 But, and typical this,
00:25 we are right in the depths of winter now in this area.
00:27 So what was either a cleanup or just cattle out of spec
00:30 or so forth, we added here today,
00:32 but sold a very solid competition,
00:34 especially on the heavier end.
00:36 Rates were probably just a touch easier than we have seen
00:38 in the last two sales,
00:40 but still everybody active here today.
00:42 So all your main commission guys, Midfield Meats,
00:45 Campbell Ross of Airport West, Duncan Brown of Howlong,
00:48 he was here, JNF or JBS Feedlots,
00:51 they were active and present.
00:52 So we've certainly seen the same spread, which is good,
00:56 and a good contingent of local buyers as well here
00:58 that sort of soak up the lighter weight calves.
01:01 - Price wise, how did it go?
01:02 - Price wise, it's been pretty equal, I'd imagine,
01:05 to most other sales, maybe just off a little bit,
01:07 just with the run of cattle that was yarded.
01:09 What we've been seeing, 380, 390 per our heaviest ears today
01:13 was probably a little bit more subdued to 360 or 70,
01:15 which was still a good result.
01:17 Our calves making similar money.
01:18 What we did sort of see today was a bit more of a local,
01:21 probably more so buying up to a certain price
01:24 in the younger, lighter weight steers,
01:26 was just a little bit stronger
01:27 than the last couple of sales that we've seen,
01:29 mainly through Yarra Valley and local competition here
01:31 just securing smaller numbers.
