MUCHEA CATTLE REPORT 15/06/2026
Total Yarding 679
Supplies were lighter this week without the larger runs of local and pastoral weaners of recent sales. The buying field was attended by most regulars however fewer feedlot buyers and restockers were present and as a result pricing on younger steers and heifers fell away 15/20c with the occasional pen reaching last weeks values. The cow market remained firm as did heavy bulls while young bulls were in demand lifting 20/25c/kg.
Local weaner steers were selling from 352c to 558c while weaner heifers started from 300c and sold up to 472c/kg. Plain local yearling steers returned 380c to 424c and steers showing more condition sold from 402c to 478c/kg. Plain local yearling heifers were selling from 319c to 356c and with more weight and frame were making 388c to 464c/kg. Pastoral steer calves were presented in a wide variation of condition with plain types starting from 220c up to 438c with more fat cover. Pastoral heifers also ranged in quality from very plain bodies selling from 162c to 296c and better bodies from 300c to 420c/kg.
The few grown steers yarded returned 328c to 400c while grown heifers returned 320c to 428c/kg.
Light framed pastoral store cows sold from 160c to 240c while bigger framed store cows made 260c to 314c/kg. Medium weight cows returned 280c to 342c and heavy cows sold to a top of 372c/kg.
Restockers and live exporters were strong on Young bulls and ranged from 220c to 450c lifting 20/25c while heavy bulls remained equal to return 320c to 350c/kg.
