Price for Brahmans on the increase
THE Mareeba Combined Agents yarded a total of 422 head last week and noted that Brahman type cattle were more expensive than previous weeks across all categories.
The cattle comprised of well-finished bullocks and cows which received good support from local and southern processers.
There were a limited number of bulls to quote on, but quality crossbred steers and heifers continued to be in high demand, reflecting the upper end of the market.
A total of 67 steers and bullocks were yarded, with 37 in the 400-500kg weight range averaging 292.5cents/kg. The remaining 30, weighing over 500kg, found an average of 270.1 cents/kg.
There were also a good number of cows yarded, with 48 (up to 400kg) averaging 134.5cents/kg, 59 (400-600kg) averaging 202.6cents/kg, and 6 (over 600kg) averaging 218.2cents/kg.
