MUCHEA CATTLE REPORT 04/05/2026
545 liveweight and 0 veal / Total 545
It was a light sale today which is usually expected for this time of the year. Trade weight steers and heifers were very light in supply while there are still some handy lines of weaner types coming through, however pastoral cattle made up a larger percentage of the sale. The usual faces were at the rail in the buying group keeping prices in line to recent strong values over the last few sales. Heifers of all weights and ages were generally carrying more condition and were in demand.
Local weaner steers were selling from 320c to 530c while weaner heifers ranged from 248c to 442c/kg. The limited number of local yearling steers returned 398c to 430c and yearling heifers generally showing more cover were selling from 332c to 452c/kg. Pastoral steer calves were presented in store condition and sold from 196c to 286c while pastoral heifers had more fat cover selling from 240c up to 404c/kg.
Grown steers were also few in number and returned 330c to 384c while grown heifers returned 322c to 422c with several pens in finished condition.
Light framed pastoral store cows were selling from 156c to 240c while bigger framed store cows sold to 310c/kg. Medium weight cows returned 310c to 348c and heavy cows sold to a top of 360c/kg.
