CQLX Gracemere agents yarded 2410 head on January 19 comprising 767 steers, 1276 heifers, 315 cows, 16 cows and calves and 36 bulls.
Cattle came from most local areas and the quality overall was very good. Competition on the prime cattle was weak and this carried on to all but the better drafts in store cattle. The better lines of weaner steers showed an improvement on last sale however most others were a little easier
