9500 head were yarded at this weeks Roma store cattle sale. This was up 1,000 head on last week. The increase came mainly from large consignments of young heifers from Kidmans Naryilco property (350 head) and AAco’s Avon Downs (530 head).

Average Steer price Premium
It’s accepted that Steers in a weight range will make a 20 cent per kilo liveweight premium over heifers of the same weight range. I believe a good indication to future price movements is to track the Premium gap between steers & heifers.
This week all weigh ranges except heavier feeder types over 350kgs were back in range. Expect heavier heifers to ease by about 10-13 cents next week.
